We had a 67 Buick Riviera with the fold down headlights (made the coolest sound when operated), and an extremely annoying speed alarm. That car drank fuel, loved driving it.
So sad when dad traded it in for a Plymouth Scamp (he had a 4 hour commute each day).
...an extremely annoying speed alarm...
My parents Electra had that, too............
Anyone remember the ‘automatic’ headlight dimmers from the 60’s? They never worked and pissed off other drivers!............
1967 Riviera fold down headlights. He also features the 1965 Riviera clamshell style lights later in the video:

The guy who did the video has a great channel on YouTube called Rare Classic Cars & Automotive History which gives special attention to the mostly unloved big barges of the late sixties and seventies. He’s an executive at GM and somehow is able to get interviews with the stylists and engineers — now long retired — who created the vehicles of that era.
