I absolutely love you car. I’ve been thinking about turbines since I saw that pic on Instagram. Hope ‘21 will be better for you and everyone 👍 Brian

Ed. 🤣 they were nice with rechromed spinners. He’s a great guy. Helped me with a couple things I needed.

Looking great Ken! That’s going to be a beautiful car. Ed, I was at Steve Lorenzen’s a couple weeks ago, he’s got a set of those GS hub caps on the wall in his basement. Not sure if they’re for sale but you might ask if your interested. Brian.

I believe that is correct

64rivvy, I just did these in my 65 last winter. I’m positive mine were like your first pic. Also positive they were original. To make it a little easier, I used a black felt with an adhesive backing. Works great, my vent “balls” had no grooves that I remember. Not sure what Ed means unless the earlier ones are different than the 65. Good luck, it’s nice when they aren’t loose anymore 👍 Brian

The OPG mats are from Cars. I have a set and cars is molded in the bottom. They are well made, nice and heavy. I heard the ones from legendary were for the A body/skylark, and somewhat smaller. My .02

Those go to your door jamb switch. The switch’s notoriously go bad. Someone probably disconnected them. Look up Wolfgang if you need the switches rebuilt.

Found-Great Degreaser and Rust Remover-Power Seat Assembly Finished
71GS replied to Riviera63's topic in Buick Riviera
I’ve used evapo rust, and agree. It’s a great product 👍 -
I have to say I love having one in my 65. I use it all the time, and keeps you from messing with the pricey, fragile, rare trunk lock cover emblem. As Gene stated above, there is a vacuum canister mounted low on the right side of the firewall.

Question regarding switches under the dash pad on a 65 Riviera
71GS replied to Seafoam65's topic in Buick Riviera
Ed, I had a 64 with reverb ad it was exactly as the picture you posted also. From everything I’ve found, the center switch/ space under the dash was for the rear defroster and read accessory -
Beautiful night tonight. Stopped by Hawthorn Hill for a photo. This was Orville Wright’s home from 1914 until his death in 1948. Oakwood (Dayton) Ohio.

Thanks, Yes, accessory from Buick. They are pretty neat.

How many miles do you put on your cars in an average year?
71GS replied to Hazdaz's topic in Buick Riviera
We’ve got 2000 this year. We did 600 one week in September, so fun. Odometer rolled past 50k that week. Got to drive em! The previous owner put 6k on it from 1981-2019 😳 -
Service manual will be your best friend here. There are some good diagrams in there.
