SwedeDownUnderR63

Hi Ron, We have had a lovely summer that now is getting cooler such that I can stop sleeping in the freezer. Let us now when you need some QLD sunshine, the winter here was perfect.

Thanks for the video and for sharing your memories of your Rivieras. I bought my first one in 1976 in Sweden (the red one) which was sold new there and I had it until 1982 when I had to sell it. I got my second one in 2015 (the blue one) here in Australia which was sold new in Oregon and imported here in the early '00s. Both of them were '63's which has the styling that I prefer and I love the feeling of the Dynaflow "CVT" although it isn't made for performance. The red one was used for our wedding photo in 1978 and the blue one for a recreation of the same wedding photo for our daughter's wedding in 2021. Some photos included, the red was red with white stripes when I bought it and became red with a mild flake whilst the blue had been repainted in something that was similare to the Teal Mist it had originally.

Or you can go for the Australian version which I installed in my -63. Tony Gentilcore ships brackets to USA and you need to source additionasl parts as per information. https://www.mako.com.au/

I googled "YouTube buick riviera window" and:

You can also lookup the registration of the domain which in this case seems to be in December 2023. So rather fresh which would get me to look elsewhere.

They seems to still be available, can’t you contact Steve on Craigslist? https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/pts/d/lutz-1969-buick-riviera-door-panels/7675074110.html

Yes, there is a Brake light on the left just below the oil light (in my ‘63). Your light could be broken, there is also a switch that is engaged when you push down the emergency brake that could be broken and of course a cabling issue.

How about this?

I have a flowkooler in my ‘63 which works fine but I don’t have any before information to compare with. Note that there is a difference between the pumps for an AC and a none AC car. You might run into an issue if you install it in a none AC car. I installed in a none AC car but I also converted a lot at the same time to prepare it for AC. See also

I used one of the following before and it worked fine. https://oldbuickparts.com/product/brake-switch/

The ‘63 that I drive Down Under has the standard red turn signal. Have a look at the rules, you might be able to switch back to red. Note that in my original setup the brake light will become the turn signal, maybe there are other changes on yours such that you still have the brake light on the same side as your amber light is flashing.

Hi Jim, the package has arrived! Thank you. Regards, Jan

Hey, The package from Jim is moving! Who would have thought that it takes 16 day through the facility at Melbourne airport, snail express. International Transit Processed Through Facility AUSTRALIA January 23, 2023, 10:29 am Departed MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA January 7, 2023, 6:50 am

If it has been delivered it should have been reported as such and not “international transfer departed”. There seems to be a glitch in the communication between the two countries postal service. I really don’t have the time to look into this now as we are packing up our home.
