For that price, windshield wipers would be nice.

Thanks Jim, some good info there.

[Fan Clutch]

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

[63 Hood Emblem]

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

[White wall tyre options - what's your opinion]

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

[Rebuild pic request]

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.

[Operarating temperature]

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

[Operarating temperature]

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

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,

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

[1968 Buick Riveria info needed]

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.
