Riva Ariston Cadillac

Carlo Riva considered the Riva Ariston to be the most elegant boat and it is the only model that was built during his entire direction at the shipyard.
This boat is one of only 19 examples produced with optional Cadillac engines.
In fact, the 250 hp engine is derived directly from the 8V engine used in the famous Cadillac Eldorado.
This Ariston, launched in 1956, is the only one of the six Cadillac models from that year to have survived.
At the moment, it is the only Ariston Cadillac to still have the two-piece windscreen adopted at the beginning of production by Carlo Riva before the introduction of the famous “panoramic” model.
The boat is in good condition as it has been faithfully restored by a skilled shipwright after being stored in a hangar for more than 40 years.
The sides planking has been preserved, while the bottom has been replaced and reinforced to allow for better screw retention.
The transom has also been replaced as the planking was non-existent.
The upholstery is new and faithful to the original pattern.
The Cadillac engine has been completely overhauled and, now, it has only 25 hours of navigation.
Further information and photographic documentation of the restoration are available on request.
