1971 GM Rivetta Concept

1971 GM Rivetta Concept

What if Bill Mitchell as General Motors Vice President of the Styling Section walks into the Buick design studio when the stylists are creating the final version of the 1971 Riviera and gives them a lengthened 1969 Corvette chassis for a personal challenge. His only mandate being he wants to retain the design language of the full-size Riviera platform they are refining in clay but evolve it as if a 2-seat grand tourer for his personal use. It never actually happened but I wonder what it would have looked like!

Name: Riviera + Corvette = Rivetta.

note: I designed this one for myself as a salute to Bill Mitchell. One day once a few other personal projects are done it might become a reality.
