Here are a few pictures of mine before I painted them. Mine were done with copper/nickel/chrome

Here is a photo of it. Its not as nice as Dick's, but I got one too. LOL

My 65 Riv is a radio delete car. Some genius cut the plate up and installed a after market radio, which I tossed in the trash. I still have the plate but its ruined. My passenger side fender does not have the hole in it for the antenna.

I would check the two wires which attach to the coil. Make sure they are not frayed and if they are it would make your car run terrible. I had a similar problem with a Pontiac and changed everything and found one of the wires from the coil was the problem. Gerry

All, I had my 65 Riv wheels rechromed at a place in California called Southbay Chrome a subsidiary of Classic Components. Chrome Plating Company |Chrome Plating Service | Chrome Plating Shops | Classic Components I called several places before I found them and no-one wanted to rechrome steel wheels. I paid $200.00 a wheel a few years ago plus shipping to and from. I painted mine myself first with etching primer and then paint. I just have to say the chrome job was excellent and would send other parts to them. Gerry<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

I have two more for a 65, which wont work for you. Sorry

Rob, No problem glad I was able to help.

My father owned a 1952 Buick 2-door Riviera, which he purchased in 1956. The car was from New York and he owned it for about 8 years. He was showing me photos of the car and he said he would love to have the car now. I then asked him if he had the vin # so we could attempt to locate to see if someone still owned it. He did not have the Vin# so it was a dead issue. This was about two months ago and today he called me and located the registration for the car from 1957, so I told him I would put the Vin# on the forum to see if anyone owns the car. This could be a long shot, but you never know. It would be really amazing if the car was located so all you 1952 Buick owners check your Vin #'s. Also is there any other way to locate classic cars from a Vin # The vehicle serial # is 36619424 and the engine ID # is 68399875

I Have tried to attach before and after photos of my wheels, but for some reason I keep getting errors. Can some one point me in the right direction. Thanks Gerry

I purchased the one from CARS and sent it back. It did not fit properly and I did not like the color. I did this a few years ago and not sure if they improved it. I did purchase the one from Clarks and it fit perfect and color is nice. I agree it is too expensive and knowing what I know now I would of made my own. Gerry

I have a couple from a 65 Riviera, but not sure if it will work. Gerry

The center console rear lamp lens is trash. As Rob sugested buy a new one.

Middleman I had my transmission resealed in my 65, which consisted of removing the transmission and replacing all the seals not a rebuild. It was about $400.00 and they checked everything when they had it out. The shop I took it to has been in business since the 60's and are honest.

Here are some photos of the carpet. The discolored ares dont show up much in photos.

Ed, Where can I find a copy of that article. I would like to read it. Thanks Gerry

I will check to make sure it is solid and let you know. I also sent you a PM a few days ago and sent a PM to others. I am not sure if you or the others got it. Thanks Gerry

Still having the same problem and have not figured it out yet. I am suspecting it is the exhaust because that was changed during the same time the transmission was removed and resealed. I wish I had and answer for everyone. I will figure it out because its driving me crazy and I will let everyone know.

I have a brand new carpet from Auto Custom Carpets for a 1965 Buick Riviera. The color is 09-medium blue and it is a few years old. It has never been installed, but both front sections have a small area that is slightly discolored where it meets the rear carpet. If interested send me your email and I will send you photos. $100.00 plus shipping. Thanks Gerry

I sent you a PM.

I will check and let you know.

I am parting out the car not selling the complete car. Thanks

I have a complete 65 Riviera parts car with additional fenders, doors, trunk lid, and additional miscellanous parts. I am located in Florida and will send photos to your e-mail at your request. I am parting out the car so please call me at 386-931-7118 if I can help. Thank you Gerry ROA # 11736<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
