Booreatta Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I didnt think such a car was made. I thought that all cars were White or Firmsist Red. Is it possible that this is true or is it a complete custom Job. I know it has the headlight switch that I need. The interior is changed totally. The VIN number is for an 84 Riviera Convertible so that part is correct, somebody must have some additionl information. Imay be wrong but somehow I dont think that it came out of ASC/Buick looking like it does today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The orginal top would have been white as well, with either the white or firemist red paint. A couple of options on this car are the V8 (the 4.3 V6 was standard,) and the "artillery" rally wheels. Can't tell what OEM radio option was chosen because that radio has been updated to a AM/FM CD player. The owner also found some trunk trim and steering wheel from an XX twentieth anniversary issue. I'm okay with the paint - I've always liked two-tone Rivieras - and some of the interior (too many contrasts,) but in my opinion, I think the top and boot would look better in black, and the RWO tires are all wrong for this kind of car; save those for the Camaros and Firebirds. My 2 cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosuzguy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 In the last 7 pictures it appears like the car is dark maroon and black on the exterior, instead of bright red and black in the rest of the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a striking paint scheme. The upholstery looks a bit amateurish in the pics, huh. Wonder what the quality of the paint job is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
