A few months ago, I spotted a last generation Buick Riviera in the Walmart parking lot in Schenectady, New York. Now, I'm kind of a fan of the '90s Riv - it may not have been sporty, or particularly well made, but it was tastefully styled and had kind of a neat dash, with its plethora of hooded round instruments. This one, though, has been treated to something of an Amerigasm by a certain owner with obviously unusual pride in his Clinton Era Buick and unusual taste to go with it. I failed. to take any pictures the first time around and despaired of ever seeing it again - but today it was back! I'll let the photos do the talking, forgive the bad quality, I didn't have much time and had to take them through the windows of my company van.

The specific details of the Americizing of the car would look perfect on some kind of goofy car from the 70s, preferably in somewhat of a box shape. Knievel had enough vehicles liveried similarly to this that it should make my point. Problem is, this is the wrong car for it, 1000%.

Luckily I scrolled down with my eyes closed so I didn't go blind again.
