63 Red Riv

Tom, Its actually the 2 trim pieces under the back windows right behind the doors. Thanks, Brian

Hello, going to fix a small dent in rear fender and want to remove the rear fender upper ornament grille. Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian

For that price, windshield wipers would be nice.

Thanks Jim, some good info there.

My riviera was stuck in traffic yesterday an got really hot temp gauge went over 200 degrees and stalled. Let it cool for a while and was fine. today checking the fan clutch I noticed it was spinning freely when the engine was off. Is this normal and could this be the cause of the engine getting to hot. Thanks in advance

I thought is was an after market piece, but no one is selling it. It looks old and the fit looks right. It has a consistent gap around the edge like it was made for it.

This is the emblem on my 1963 Riviera. I have only seen the tri-shield emblem and am wondering if this is an after market emblem or is it an original? Thanks, Brian

My 63 came with them, at first I did not like them. But after a while they kind of grow on you.

Nice job, came out great. Did you also use the paint on the hard plastic under the armrests? Thanks, Brian

Hey Gary, Hope this helps. Brian

Hey Ed, I am curious how you can tell what year the seats are? Thanks, Brian

Thanks guys. I knew something was different. Great advise as always. Brian

Any recommendations on new battery for a 63 Riviera, 445, 325 HP. Thanks, Brian

Hey Pete, Saw this in the Clarks catalog. I think they are asking $36.00. Brian

Chris, Had my 63' package tray off today, my speaker grill has 2 tabs on the top that insert through the package tray into slots in the frame. 2 screws on the bottom screw into a bracket. I will send 2 pics. Hope these help. Brian

Thanks guys, I guess what I was most concerned about was the rise in temp after shutdown. I have only driven the car about 300 miles since I bought it and had the engine rebuilt. It came with the temp gauge so now I look at it wondering if I am going to overheat. I guess it will take awhile to feel confident driving it without thinking it will breakdown. As always I appreciate the feedback. Thanks, Brian

First warm day driving my car since the engine rebuild. Can someone tell me the correct operating temp on a 63 Riviera 401 325hp. I am running between 160F and 200F. After a good run and I shut it down the temp goes between 200F and 225F. Just wondering if this normal. Thanks, Brian

Thanks Ed, Would you recommend the Riview to look for one? Thanks, Brian

Looking for a Tire Jack for a 63 Riviera. Would any jack from that period work or is there something unique for the Riviera? Thanks in advance, Brian

Always loved that color combo.

My '63

Hey Bill. I have the same hubcaps on my 63', and the same whitewalls. I took them apart and it does not seem like the paint was removed. Just more shine. Good luck, Brian

I had a 68' about 35 years ago that didn't look half as good as this one does now. Its great to see a car like that so well maintained. Good Luck, Brian

My 63' has an amber band across the top. Mine was a california car so that might explain it?

Looks great. Hope mine comes out that good. Brian
