Barney Eaton Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) SIZE=3]Attached are some of the Buicks on display at SEMA this year at Las Vegas. The tan car is a LaSalle (40 I believe) just had to include it as it was super nice. The yellow Riviera is a Corvette with Riviera front and rear.... don't know if it is steel or fiberglass. I think one of the other people I traveled with has a side shot that I will post later.

MrEarl Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Customs are cool! Beautiful. Ben10-4 that g'buddy. I've always said the 54 Roadmaster and 63 Riviera came from the factory "customized". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I'll say this for the builder. "The car is not just a trailer queen / show car." There are more videos on YouTube about the car. Type "Launier Riviera" in the search window and you'll find a handful of different videos.I think it's in one of the videos that you'll see the original '64 Riviera that was cut up to make this 'Rivision.' Why couldn't he have found a salvage vehicle to make his car rather than cutting up one of the few good ones that are left?

EdSome cars scream to be modified like 50's Mercs...others like the 53 Skylark and early Rivs are so well sorted out that any mod just looks wrong. A recent Summit Racing catalog had an early Riv, but listed no Buick parts...it too probably had an LS engine like the Rivision.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Spelling is one thing; knowing how to spell someone's name is luck at best. I think that in the past year I've learned about seven different way to spell the girls name "RYE - lee." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm guessing the builder will receive lots, and lots of business from the build. He may have built it for a DEEP POCKET customer too. GEORGE POTEET at one time had 12 high dollar cars being built at the same time. One was a truck that I did work on, it ended up costing $440,000.00. It won truck of the year.Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Cardinal Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) That 57 Caballero is a beautiful car. It was one of the 2014 NSRA "Top 100" cars this year.I spent some time looking at it and talking with the owner at the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville.It was built by "Customs by Kilkeary" in PA.It was pretty funny listening to the "experts" talking about the car as they looked at it.One guy was pointing out to his friends how well the body modifications had been done.He told them the car was a custom bodied car because Buick never built 4-door hardtop wagons.I just bit my tongue.
