The Buick brand didn’t have many unique cars during the 1980s but the few that there were stood out from the crowd. The 1985 Riviera T-Type Convertible was a unique car that looked a lot more expensive than it was. The unique thing about this car was that there wasn’t a V8 engine offered (via St Louis Car Museum).

Instead, the car utilized a turbocharged V6 engine, which was one of the first that GM ever offered. The long wheelbase and cushy suspension made the Riviera T-Type handle a lot better than other convertible models at the time.
