Seafoam65 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I really enjoyed the article on jframe's Riviera in the new Riview. It looks like the body shop did an excellent job of repairing and repainting the car after the accident. Just like me, his Dad bought a 65 Riviera brand new and like me he always wanted one for his own. I'm sure he is enjoying owning a 65 as much as I am! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yes agree congrats to Mark on a well written article and pictures on the 65. Also big congratulations to NC68Riviera Mike S and Aqua Zepher. Man-o-man does that car JUMP out of those pages in the color combo. Both very well done showcase articles. Thanks for submitting Mark and Mike! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jframe Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Thanks, guys for the compliments. I was stunned to see it on the cover, especially with that Aqua Riv in there as well. That color just pops so much more than white. My Riv is an absolute joy for me to drive. I am reminded of my folks and how much they loved that Midnight Blue 65 Dad had. My Mom loved it SO much that she slid past a toll booth with all four tires locked up, trying to haul down from a solid 90mph in Kentucky, lol. She said she would send Dad to work in her 60 Impala, and she would wash the Riviera, and drive it all over Detroit, and take any challenge. I am so glad they passed that love and enjoyment on to me, and that my Dad was able to enjoy it for awhile before his death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually takes a few extra days for me to get mine here in NC, I can tell they are out when there are posts about it here on the forum, then I have to wait a bit for mine to come to see it.

If you call the office they will send one extra copy at no charge for members that get their showcase printed in the Riview. Those of us that have had showcases printed know how much work is involved, so a free copy is at least some reward. When my '95 was in the Riview a couple of years ago I got a couple extra copies so I could do it up in a frame. I want to highlight the pic on the cover, the showcase article, and the email I received from the Head of the Design Studio that was in charge of designing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to purchase a few extra copies, one for my photo buddy, and at least one more to take apart and mat and frame to hang in my office at home. Guess I'll keep trying.

Guess I'll keep trying. It is best to email the office, office@rivowners.org. I don't think the office lady is there all the time. I contacted her and requested 4 additional copies. She said she could send me two complimentary copies and charge $4.00 for additional copies. I gave her my CC number for the order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came close about a year before I found my 65 to buying a 69 bucket seat car that was whote with a black vinyl top; same color scheme as the 65 I wound up with. I still would like to have a 2nd Gen, but I am out of garage room. Love to see more pics of yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65VerdeGS Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I got my Riview yesterday. Looks like it takes about the same amount of time for the issues to reach Canada as Australia! Great issue, great cars... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
