Buick: Two Legends Two Stories

From the sleek Buick Riviera to the muscular Buick Gran Sport, each Buick tells a unique story. Today, we showcase two classics and how both owners turned to OPGI for restoration needs.

Darryl’s Buick Riviera

Original Parts Group, Inc. customer Darryl Cheney from West Hartford, Connecticut, discovered his ’73 Riviera in a garage and bought it from the original owner.

“She needed very little, but what she needed I purchased from OPGI with confidence and zero disappointments,” says Darryl. Darryl bought a 454-4 Decal and RESTOPARTS® Quarter Window Seals from OPGI to maintain the Riviera’s condition. These items enhanced the car’s already excellent state, proving its near-perfect condition at purchase.

John’s Gran Sport

Nearby in Brooklyn, New York, John Diodato owns a 1972 Buick Gran Sport Stage 1, known as “The Hulk.” John has remained dedicated to maintaining the car’s originality. “I am always satisfied with my OPG orders and can also count on good information and help from their staff. Parts always fit as they should,” he shares.

Unlike Darryl, John needed significant restoration and upgrades. He sourced many parts, including RESTOPARTS® from OPGI. John’s extensive list of purchases from OPGI includes, but is not limited to Seat Brackets, Fuel fuel-sending unit, LH and RH Front Armrest Pads, an Armrest Base Molding, a Disc Brake Conversion Kit, front-end rotors, a Valve Upgrade Kit, a Starter, and Exhaust Pipes.
