Another pic as installed
First thing I visualize with your photo is Derick from "Vice Grip Garage" working on getting it started and then taking it for a drive after being parked for 20 years.
Cheers !

IMHO, the 63-64 Riviera's don't wear customization well.
The OEM design is pretty good as is....its proportions have aged well.
Kind of like adding a couple tablespoons of sugar to a can of Coke.

It's obvious not just a hack-job conversion. A lot of thought and craftsmanship went into the little details. Like the "Tonneau Cover" snap on the sides. Bet this thing looked sweet when new.

This is worth a visit to check it out. And with a little give-and-take on price, would be an outstanding restoration project.

...and if your Rivera itself needs a tow, this is a gem of a way to have it retrieved.

...and continuing this "Tow" Theme:
"It's late 1962 and Bev Spencer has 'borrowed' Laguna Seca Raceway for some track time with 0666 and his most recent acquisition, the ex-Cunningham Maserati 151 Le Mans coupe. A Buick dealer in San Francisco, Spencer uses a very early new 1963 Riviera as the tow vehicle. This would begin a tradition that would continue with the race cars."

I'm going to think about how to find the family. No promises, but we have been in Cincy for 160 years...should have less degrees of separation from here.
Class move, Ted!
Good job.
Cheers !

He seems like a pretty solid guy. Certainly got the "marketing gears" going. Has two other variants of these Channels called "Vice Grip Lodge" and then His younger son has "Little Grip Garage" channel. A lot of work goes in to these, but it's paying off for Him and His family....and pretty entertaining to watch as well. All good stuff.
