  1. For those of you who replaced the headliner in your '63 Riviera, 

    can you help and tell me what material was used or the pattern that came in the car for replacement

    purposes, please?  I am going to replace mine as it looks original. This liner is very old and brittle. I touch it and it falls apart.

    Here are two pictures of the one in the car now:

  2. Just picked up a 63 Riv cause I have loved the styling of this car forever. With every car purchase a little blood and tears has to fall to get it in shape as the way the new owner would like it.

    I have given much to the blood bank and lots left on the garage floor. I told myself 'never again' but here I go.

    just a couple of pics:

  3. Sorry.....get ahead of myself sometime......1963 Buick Riviera 401 ci 2 speed auto....

    I might have called the window wrong.....the drivers side door window is called the drivers side door window and I know how to take the 

    outer door skin off.......

    The window behind the door on the drivers side in the quarter panel is called ______?

    That's the one I can' get down.

     

     

  4. Okay, now I am into fixing all the problem areas of this car. I have already fixed the power seat, (have it still out of the car so I can get under the dash), rear quarter panel, engine leaks,

    you know the usual maintenance stuff other people seem to not do.

    I have ordered all manuals for this car but they are not here yet and I need to remove the drivers power rear quarter window that is stuck in the up (closed) position 

    to get it working. I have completed taking everything apart and am now trying to get the window down some so I can start taking it out. PROBLEM: can't seem to figure out how to start. I have tried to get info from other sources,

    but can't seem to find anywhere where to start.

  5. gungeey - Here are two pictures under the air cleaner. Sorry, I just had the car delivered Sunday. First real chance I had to go over the whole car.

    There was no special equipment under the air cleaner top. The hose laying  on  the valve cover was just screwed into the top.

  6. Hello, first time submitting a question on this forum. Just purchased a 1963 Riviera ( pictures coming later ). Loved the body lines for

    many years. Finally purchased one, but can anyone tell me what this is and what is it's use?

    Hope the item is visible.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dennis.
