I apologize for any confusion I may have caused. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

I guess you are referring to the earlier posting on the Chicago craigslist. Certainly a 68. Too many second gens being discussed here! Thanks. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

Mike, If you are referring to the Riviera in the Hemmings ad from Bend, OR, with all due respect, it is a 1969 model. It has a 1969 grille, 1969 rear bumper, 1969 rear side marker lamps and a 1969 interior. The sixth digit, 9, in the VIN indicates 1969. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

As an aside, Hermann Brunn, of the Brunn and Company coachbuilding company family, is said to have been largely responsible for the interior of the 1969-1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

Not fitted to the 1968 Riviera.

I doubt the chrome air cleaner lid on the 1970 Riviera GS had a decal based on my experience and also as we know the 68 and 71 Riviera GS models did not have a decal. Further, I believe it is a much cleaner look without the decal. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

Larry, So that you are aware, Briz on the V8 Buick website is the same person as Stephen Brisbois. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

Larry, That piece is known as the center trunk filler. It was added in the mid 1968 model year and included on the 1969 Rivieras. I do not see drill holes in the side pieces to install this panel on the photo you furnished so I suspect your Riviera was produced before the center trunk filler was being installed on the Flint assembly line. Briz on the V8 Buick website has reproduced this piece. Hope this helps. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

You are welcome Larry.

Larry, Buick dealers sold a passenger outside rear view mirror which is the same for all 1968 and 1969 Buicks. It is the mirror image opposite of the standard, non-remote drivers side outside rear view mirror. The one you pictured appears somewhat different as it is the optional remote mirror. Many years ago the NOS mirrors were difficult to find and expensive. However, they have been reproduced in approximately the the last decade or so. For example, CARS LLC lists it as SKU: MK689R for $149.00 Hope this helps. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

The information on this Mark II's data plate indicates: Paint code 14 - Starmist white. 1D3G interior codes - all leather, light beige biscuits, medium beige bolsters and light beige welts. C in 56C2547 indicates January 1956 production. A non factory air conditioned Mark II. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

Yes. 1971-1976 Cadillac convertibles were front wheel drive Eldorados. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

What do you consider to be low mileage please? Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

Looks nice. Hard to find one, much less in anywhere near this condition. Limited market. All the money and more! Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477

Appears to be a very well preserved example! Interesting that the factory installed dual exhaust system has been replaced with a single exhaust system. Jim Vesely ROA # 7437 BCA # 39477
