The Olds Toronado was front wheel drive, but the 442 was a regular rear wheel drive.

Funny, I owned both the '63 Riviera and a '65 442. Two different genres but both great, fun cars. Back then the 442 was a fast car. Today there are Honda's and Toyota's and any number of small cars that are way faster. Electric cars being among the fastest of course.

Very nice. br br For those wondering what "... (show quote)
I had a 64 Riveria that was Carolina Blue. Beautiful Car. It looked just like the one in the photo. It had been ordered from a dealer, and had NO extras. No power seats, windows, AC, nothing. But I loved it. Got it from a dealer when I got back from Nam in '67. Paid $2000.00 for it. I wish I still had it. For as long as I had it, I was told the 445 was the cubic inch displacement of the engine. It was a big block and would pass almost anything but the gas stations.

Beautiful. I remember when they were new - an early attempt at FWD.
I think you are thinking of the Oldsmobile Tornado or Cadillac Eldorado. They were FWD. The Buick Rivera was still a RWD.
