The Riviera was radically redesigned for the 1971 model year with flowing and dramatic boat tail styling, designed under Bill Mitchell's direction and penned by Jerry Hirshberg. The design was originally intended for the smaller A body, but General Motors management decreed that the next Riviera use the full sized B platform body, expanded for 1971. This generation introduced a much more visual representation of the sweepspear, with large round wheel openings.
