Looking for a replacement lens for the white courtesy light on the rear of a '70 Riviera with floor shift/full console. May also be the same as '68 and '69? Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks!

My first generation Riviera's... Baby Gran Sport - Midnight Blue over White... KX 64 - Coral Mist over White...

Looks great Ted! Even a '65 Riv made it into the collection - awesome!!

I have not seen the car in person, but the photos do look nice. Jim advised that he is selling the car because he has bought a '91 from another Buick friend. He indicated that this car drives better than his new '91! I believe he mentioned that he used the Old Cars Weekly price guide to determine his asking price...

Not mine, but owned by fellow ROA/BCA member Jim Meyers. All his cars are very nice. Just posting here as I do not believe he is a forum member... Cars On Line.com: Buick For Sale

Beautiful. Thanks for posting Pete.

AA = Regal Black Paint 618 = Black Cloth & Vinyl "Custom" (Deluxe) Interior 05D = Built the 4th week of May (1965)

Thanks for posting this Chuck. Happy "Birthday" Riviera!

Don - I definitely agree with Tom, verde green with the black vinyl top will be awesome. I've see one picture of a car with this combo, and it was sweet. Congrats on your find and keep posting updates with photos!

Not mine, but appears to be a nice original car with documentation located in Madison, WI... 1963 Buick Wildcat - 100% Original

For the '84 and '85 convertibles, Buick also added a headliner to the underside of the convertible top. Somewhere along the line I read or was told this was an "upgrade" insisted upon by Cadillac with the introduction of the Eldorado convertible in '84. This helps to reduce road noise inside the car with the top up. When looking for a nice example to add to your collection, this can be a desirable difference between the first two and last two model years. It is getting much harder to find well cared for Riviera convertibles for sale - especially by their original owners. I agree with Merrill, the prices for these cars are not what they should be, which means perhaps this is the time to try to acquire one. Most examples for sale have had or need a repaint, have or need a new top, or have issues with the bumper fillers. Finding one with low miles, original paint, original top, original (non-broken) bumper fillers, and ideally being sold by the original owner is nearly impossible but is the way to go if you can find one...

1982 production = 1248 1985 production = 400 Check out this site for good information about the Riv Convertibles... New Page 1

Not mine, but looks pretty sharp in the pictures... 1979 BUICK ELECTRA LTD COUP***15,000 ORIG MILES***EXCELLENT CONDITION

x2. Really appreciate you sharing the photos. It is a great story. Hope you are able to return a great car back to the road...

Very enjoyable, thanks Jayson. The car looks great without the body side molding!

Mine is the other '64 KX car mentioned earlier in this thread. It is equipped with the 3.07 posi rear-end. I believe Tom can confirm that most (if not all) of the factory dual quad cars from '64 had this set up...

This is good advice. I did the same for my '84 convertible and found out what dealer the car was originally delivered to, etc...

Please report what you find out Ed!

Looks like a nice selection of cars and a good time was had by all who attended. Thanks for posting. What car/owner won the best of show?

I'm not there to see all the cool cars , but could somebody please post some photos! C'mon guys, help a brother out!!
