1974 Buick Riviera: major changes in appearance

For 1974, the Riviera received a completely revised appearance. Gone were the operable rear quarter windows, replaced with stationary ones that were becoming all the rage, and the boat tail rear styling was axed, replaced by a sleeker rear window and deck. Buick referred to it as "European treatment." High mounted brake and turn lights rested just below the rear window to catch the attention of those following.

Inside, a new instrument panel made the interior seem larger, and new patterns and materials for the seat upholstery included ribbed velour and genuine leather, which made the interiors quite rich.

Performance was not what it had been in the past, but the Stage One engine and the GS ride and handling package were still available, and Rivieras with these options are worth searching for if you're interested in a bit more performance and a little tighter ride and handling.
