How many miles do you put on your cars in an average year?
Eric's.64.Superwildcat replied to Hazdaz's topic in Buick Riviera
200 - 300 miles per year. -
I read it differently. Here is a link to an article in the LA Times: https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-06-25/new-california-truck-mandate-100-000-zero-emission-commercial-haulers-sold-annually-by-2030. It says the following: "In effect, the board ordered manufacturers of medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial trucks to begin selling zero-emission versions in 2024, with 100,000 sold in California by 2030 and 300,000 by 2035." It appears to apply only to heavy and medium duty trucks, so that seems to leave pickup trucks out of it for the most part (I think t

REAL walnut wood steering wheel project
Eric's.64.Superwildcat replied to RockinRiviDad's topic in Buick Riviera
Although I've never obtained a quote for the work I have to believe it would be incredibly expensive to have a walnut steering wheel custom made. Have you looked at OE walnut wood steering wheels online or from others on this forum? The advantage is that is is guaranteed to fit, and I believe you can purchase the walnut steering wheel, hub, Riv emblem and horn bar for pennies on the dollar when compared to a quantity-1 custom piece. -

Our friend Carl Blackard has passed...
Eric's.64.Superwildcat replied to 1965rivgs's topic in Buick Riviera
I met Carl at the ROA meet in St. Charles IL in 2015. He was a very fine person and I really enjoyed talking to him. I took this photo of him with his '64 Super Wildcat. -
Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

Replacing Dash Pad Pro's & Con's
Eric's.64.Superwildcat replied to awk409ak's topic in Buick Riviera
What color is your interior and what shape is your current dash pad in? Could you share a photo? -
1st gen dash door mounting area damaged, am I screwed?
Eric's.64.Superwildcat replied to anestech*'s topic in Buick Riviera
To follow up on the felt for the vent diffuser: You can make your own from black felt from a craft store. I raided my daughter's crafts bin for my material and it worked out perfectly. -
Accessing Windshield Wiper Motor -- 65 Riviera
Eric's.64.Superwildcat replied to Craig Balzer's topic in Buick Riviera
I guess this is what I was thinking of. I should have said access 'plug' rather than panel. This plug is in my driver's side wheel well and I have a vague recollection that it allows access to one of the three mounting bolts via a long socket and extender. I didn't use this method. I simply removed the fender. Please note that my example is from a '64. I'm assuming it is the same as the '65, but I'm not sure. -
Accessing Windshield Wiper Motor -- 65 Riviera
Eric's.64.Superwildcat replied to Craig Balzer's topic in Buick Riviera
It's really strange you don't have the access panel. If that's the case it would seem that you would need to pull the fender, which is extremely easy. That's the method I used even though I *do* have the access panel. If your wiper is slow you'll also want to ensure it is getting the proper voltage at the connector and that the connection isn't corroded. -
They look fantastic. I'll be at the front of the line for the '64s. Thanks Bob.
