Buickâs first OHV V-8, affectionately dubbed the Nailhead, first appeared in 1953.
In 1957, an increase in both its bore and stroke brought the engineâs displacement to 364 cubic inches. It was fed by carburetors supplied by either Carter or Stromberg and was rated by the factory at 300 horsepower. The standard transmission for the Super
line in 1957 was the two-speed version of the Dynaflow automatic. The engine in this Super Riviera is original to the car. The started button has been relocated to the dash. It starts the engine immediately after a pump of the accelerator and its idle slows after about a minute with no smoke.
The Dynaflow transmission, which was rebuilt as part of the restoration project, is said to engage and change gears immediately and smoothly, with no objectionable noises. A very slight spotting of motor oil is noted at the breather tube, but the car remains dry underneath. The engine bay presents as stock and impressively clean, including the insulation on the underside of the hood. The Super Rivieraâs repaint, in a correct 1957 shade, was completed in February 2019.
