  1. Nice to see one with the rear bumper sitting straight from one corner to the other!
  2. And if you want a great steak and salad, head to Malone’s.
  3. My black interior 65 came with a silver headliner and the interior was original.
  4. This car had all the hallmarks of what I call a put together car.
  5. Midnight Aqua is not a common color on a 65 Riviera but I really like it.
  6. My 64 was Diplomat Blue with a white custom interior. Chevy called theirs Daytona Blue. Pontiac and Olds also had the same color with different names. Not sure about Cadillac though. Chevy eventually changed the name to Deepwater Blue but it was the same color. If you put a 1964 Diplomat Blue Riviera along side a 1965 Midnight Blue Riviera, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.
  7. I like it better than the megabuck one that sold at Mecum a couple of weeks ago.
  8. You are correct Jim. One of my former 65’s had a saddle interior and it had a matching steering wheel.
  9. The original Grand Am was Pontiac’s first attempt at a Euro car. I liked it!
  10. Don’t forget that Pontiac created some magic with the SD455 in 1973 and 1974. It was the last hurrah!
  11. The only set screw I can think of is the one used on the speedminder knob.
  12. Had an Olds 307 in a 1985 Cutlass. It was leisurely at best but adequate. Owned many 3.8’s in my life but the supercharged Series II in my 1997 Riviera was the best. I wouldn’t mind another. Had a 4.0 Northstar in a new 1996 Aurora (although it was never advertised as a Northstar but was a 4.0 version), it used a quart of oil every 1,200 miles. I dumped it and went back to a 3800. Never again considered a Northstar.
