Did you know?

Around the time actress Natalie Wood was in the studio filming a movie with Steve McQueen, she purchased a new 1963 Buick Riviera for her personal use. Miss Wood chose one painted in Desert Sand with a standard interior in Sandalwood vinyl.

Equipped with options that included power windows, simulated wire wheel covers with spinners, and factory air conditioning, the car was in dealer stock and was not built with the Custom interior option.
