I can't believe it myself. I decided to ask someone so that you can get an answer. According to the person I talked to the tilt column is specific to each of the three years. Each year they made changes. I have asked one other person. I will report what what he says as well.

Thanks Bill. I went ahead and listed it on Ebay with questionable interchangeability but can always edit it.

Seems like a fantastic deal if it isn't rusty and is mechanically sound. I'd need a lot more pictures and a good question and answer session with the seller.

I can't believe no one here can answer my question.

Strange thought process - I have a nice but low content car, maybe it will sell faster if I INCREASE the price...

I never cared for the styling on the 71-72 Eldos, it improved on the 73 then crapped out in 74 due to the giant bumpers.

No such thing as Auto Climate Control on any first gen from the factory.

I'm sure he did not intend to, but my father's successful but dangerous car repair exploits inspired an almost 65 year obsession with all things automotive in me. He was also very interested in prewar big classics and took us to many Chicago area car shows. Thanks Dad!

Need help from the experts. I have a tilt steering column that I will be listing on Ebay shortly. It was identified to me as being from a 1964 Riv and my assumption was that it would fit 63 to 65 models but I need to verify if possible. any help is appreciated.

My first project car was a 55 Victoria, plenty of modifications as I was 18 years old.

Nice car, looks familiar - is this a flip of something we've seen before? While these high prices make me feel good about my own'60, this seems crazy high for a sedan.

A great driver as is with some new tires.

Most likely semi-gloss black.

What are they made of?
Molded patterned rubber glued to a sheet metal panel.

Wow - your running board covers are in beautiful condition! Do you think they are original to the car?
I'm pretty sure they were. Really loved the chrome trim layout.

Looks and sounds great, I think you've got it.

Agreed, do you know why it's wearing there specifically? Was the paint just thinner on them?
Both of the sidemount covers had wear like that but there were a number of areas with exposed primer due to polishing and contact wear over the years. I think the fenders would have been the worst but they had all been fully or partially repainted due to mishaps.

Impressive. No idea on value but that sure fits the definition of rare.

Because they are going "fishing" and feel people are gullible, "have " to have it , and all old car people are rich with big bucks to spend. Plus it is old so has to be rare , or very rare and the item is worn so has Patina that makes it even more valuable. Next you will see it referred to as "iconic" the current "in word" for the "in crowd" that is used from everything from hubcaps to helicopters and bird droppings. Glad I am not one of the "in crowd" and just an old fogy.
Very true. I will admit to using some of those descriptors in my own listing but "iconic" is not included. And I actually research my stuff so the words have some meaning.

Thanks TexRiv. My brain hadn't gone that far yet as I'm focused on flushing all that gunk out of the lines but you're right. Sigh.
Better safe than sorry...it is the brakes after all ... so I've just ordered a set of new wheel cylinders. One day soon I hope to be able to drive this thing around like a regular person without a care in the world. Ha ha... Eye roll
Good job. Unfortunately just about any old car that hasn't been maintained or has set for a long time almost automatically needs the brake hydraulics rebuilt completely.

Don't know if this applies but I had a similar problem with the 34 Packard. The solution was replacing long-gone rubber hood bumpers which "grab" the cowl edge when the hood is raised and keep it from slipping and falling. I also replaced the missing hood straps which kept it from blowing open to the opposite side in a strong wind.
