First, thanks for having me, this is my first post here (hopefully not my last).
I don't know how often this happens, but I'm here looking for my family's old Riviera.
My grandfather worked for Buick for a while in the sixties, and ordered himself a Riviera GS. It was a 1965 in Turquoise Mist (I think), with the 2x4bbl Super Wildcat, white leather seats, and a plaque on the center console that said "Built for Warren K. Shelley (etc.)". He rarely drove it, kept it in his barn, and we all called her "Supercar".
It was sold in Orange Park, Florida around 1983-84 with a dent in the left rear quarter panel. My father and I had just rebuilt the engine, and a family friend got hit from behind while borrowing the car. My dad didn't feel like getting into the body work, so sold the car. Needless to say, 14 year old me was devastated, and have wanted her back ever since. I am now finally in a position to possibly do something to that end, so here we are.
Thanks for any help y'all may offer, and for having me. Enjoying looking around so far. We had a lot of old Buicks growing up....
Oh, yeah: if, by chance, you DO have her, but aren't trying to part ways, please don't be shy! I'm not out to pressure or guilt anyone into anything, and would love to hear about her, see pics, etc. 🙂
Cheers!
