US MADE CONVERTIBLES WERE PERSECUTED BY THE GOVERNMENT DEEMING THE CONVERTIBLE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO POSSIBLE ROLL-OVERS. SO BUICK CONVERTIBLE PRODUCTION CEASED IN 1975 AND CADILLAC IN 1976, THE LAST AMERICAN MAKE TO DO SO. COLLECTORS HOARDED THE LAST CONVERTIBLES THINKING THAT THE DAYS OF AMERICAN PRODUCED RAGTOPS HAD COME TO AN END. BUT AMERICAN LUST FOR CONVERTIBLE CARS PERSISTED AND CAR PRODUCERS DESIGNED NEW SAFETY FEATURES THE GOVERNMENT WOULD LIKE AND BEGAN MAKING RAGTOPS AGAIN. CHRYSLER WAS THE FIRST TO PRODUCE CONVERTIBLES WITH THE 1982 LEBARON. BUICK WAS NEXT WITH THE DEBUT OF THE'82 RIVIERA CONVERTIBLE AT THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW. THESE RIVIERAS WERE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN APRIL. A LIMITED PRODUCTION OF RIVIERA CONVERTIBLES OF 1248 EXAMPLES WERE BUILT THAT FIRST YEAR. THEY WERE AVAILABLE WITH A V-6 OR A V-8 AND ONLY 2 COLORS, WHITE OR FIREMIST RED COULD BE ORDERS. THE BASE PRICE FOR THESE LIMITED EDITION RIVIERAS STARTED AT $24000 AND WITH ADDITIONAL OPTIONS COULD REACH AND EXPENSIVE $30000 OR MORE. UNFORTUNATELY, AS WITH TODAY'S ECONOMY, THE RECESSION IN '82 CAUSED INTEREST RATES TO SORE MAKING THESE BUICK CONVERTIBLES EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE TO ACQUIRE. SO, THIS '82 RIVIERA IS NOT ONLY A VERY RARE CAR, BUT A SPECT essive, and so was the price. Begining at over $24000 and going as high as $30000 with all options. 1982 was a recession year for the US economy and interest rates had sored to the highest on record, thus sales were sluggish.

Cato senior fellow Jagadeesh Gokhale discusses what we can do with the unemployed as we move out of the recession. About This Video Project During the week of March 2010, CSW staff partnered with the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) to engage attendees at the organization's Annual Forum (www.nawb.org We (Melodee Hagensen and Kristin Wolff, CSW) conducted informal video interviews with a random sample of about 25 of the 1800 conference participants, comprising executive staff and members of workforce boards. We asked them about: key priorities and challenges, issues they were interested in learning about, and thoughts on what they'd heard or experienced at the conference. Jobs (job shortages, job creation, entrepreneurship, and Federal Jobs legislation) was the central issue on their minds. The "green energy economy" and training partnerships also emerged as important themes. We then conducted similarly informal video interviews with 10 policy professionals, thought leaders, and experts working on jobs, green energy, and training issues in Washington DC - these individuals represent a wide variety of policy, political, and economic perspectives. This video is is one of a collection that resulted from this project. The intent of NAWB and CSW is to share the individual clips with our partners, stakeholders, and communities as we advance a work, learning, and sustainable prosperity agenda. We will also be developing subject specific montages that we will add to ...
