DESCRIPTION
Road Champs of Harrison, NJ has produced many small-scale diecast. While clearly intended as toys, the older Road Champs are often well cast and represent cars not done by other manufacturers. The 1983 Buick Riviera Convertible is a case in point. Buicks, and Rivieras in particular, have received little attention from diecast producers. From 1979-85, Buick produced a handsome Riviera, produced as a couipe and convertible. The Road Champs casting allows for a two plastic convertible tops, one up one down, to be placed on the car. Two other cars came in this convertible series, a Chrysler LeBaron and Ford Mustang.
