As far as I can tell, Riviera was first available in UK from Oct 62 as a special order and LHD (as here), but I think there was an approved RHD conversion done in UK (Ruddspeed??). Anyone able to spot any made-for-UK elements (lights, mirrors etc)? Plate originally issued in 1953, now on a Merc SL.

There may be a bad pun to explain this car as locations included Brixham, Paignton and Torquay, which are known as "the English Riviera".

I think it's chosen on purpose. Always referred to as a Riviera never a Buick. Talked about multiple times even when it's not around.
-"Are you after the girl or the car?"
-"Oh I'm not fussy"
or
"A girl with a Riviera can please herself"
and many other instances
