1969RivieraGS Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Just wondered if anyone was re-popping the center caps for the '67-'70's or if I just need to find a mint used one? I have one of my mint originals that is missing the center (my car only has 32,000 miles on it, so the rest are real nice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerRivFan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 There is a guy in Illinois who has the repro's you're looking for. If you email me, I can forward you a copy of the .pdf file brochure he sent to me last year. His contact information is:Mitch Romanowski322 W. Glade Rd.Palatine, IL 60067-6832847-705-5761mitchromanowski@sbcglobal.netI did not purchase anything from him, so I this is not an endorsement, but it's a start for you.Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 98Riv Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have Mitch's A-body repro caps on my 68 GS350. They are absolutely beautiful. If his Riv caps are similar, you'll love them. Top notch quality. Anti-theft mounting system on mine, don't know about the Riv caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969RivieraGS Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 I received the PDF file from him with the pictures...they look gorgeous. I think this is the place to go if you want nice reproductions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riviman Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Bought a set of his center caps for my 66 Riv and they fit and look perfect. Very satisfied with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 What is the price for a set of four complete caps? And if his caps are so nice, as I believe they must be from comments on this post, then why does every nasty or average 66-70 Riviera style center cap on ebay go for $50 or more each? I have been keeping my eye out for these caps on ebay for a couple of years, and I have seen questionable caps sell for like $50 a piece ($200/set of four) I have even contemplated going with non original wheels (such as Crager s/s) just because I didn't want to chase the prices on some of these auctions. I have no problem paying a decent price for Mitch's caps given the nice comments here, but then who is buying these ebay ones over and over again?

1969RivieraGS Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 His sets of 4 are $200.00, very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many comments about Mitch's caps being much better quality than anything GM produced, and I can believe it based on how nice mine are. I bought mine about 5 yrs ago at $150/set. They are still perfect, on a car that sees about 2000 miles/yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_75RivGS Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Still I'm very curious whether Mitch still sells a set for (only) $150. On the other hand: always read stories about the very good quality of his repros. I was very lucky to find a NOS set of the "Buick Motor Division" caps for the Estate Wagon lately, otherwise I sure would have bought a set from Mitch.I have a beautiful and complete set of Riviera 66-70 center caps for sale here in The Netherlands... but there aren't much 2nd generation owners here that need a set so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviman Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I think I paid in the range of 250.00 with shipping. Still a bargain for these as a set. Been searching and was settling for less quality of used ones for more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
