Seafoam65 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Unfortunately I sold this car last year. It was a beauty. That is one gorgeous Riv.....If I owned that one you would only get it away from me by prying it from my cold dead fingers. Magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64riviera Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Ghost flames The color is candy tangerine. A, in my humble opinion, great color and paint, but a pain in ...... to touch up if you get small chips in the paint.

Seafoam65 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 These pics captured the first moments I saw my Riviera when it arrived on the truck from Las Vegas. Man was I excited! Alsopictured is the very unusual original documentation the car came with including the original window sticker. The last picture which I firstsaw on the internet was the one that sold me the car sight unseen......the amazing perfect original package tray with no water damage. Mydad's 65 that he bought new had a water damaged package tray by 1970. When I saw that pic I knew the car had never been used or sat out in the rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafoam65 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks, Darren. The previous owner of 45 years deserves all the credit. I have talked to him on the phone and personally thanked him for taking such good care of this car. He worked for the Buickdealer where it was purchased new and knowing that these cars had rust issues, He refused to ever drive it in the winter months period as he lived in northern Illinois, and even went so far as to neverdrive it in the rain or even run a hose on it to clean it. It takes extreme far sightedness and dedication to preserve a car like that, while meanwhile avoiding any dents or collision damage for 45 years. My hat is off to him, and I will continue to care for it in the same manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The Buick color Verde Green has been around a long long time, at least from 1940.

Rivman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I haven’t posted/updated mine in a couple of years, page eight of this topic, since I have added one more since then thought I would post them again. I’ll start with a group shot of the ones I have that are presentable. The ’65 is one of the 454 LX NON GS Rivs, I ended up buying it thanks to RivNut posting it on this forum! It needs work, hopefully I’ll get to it sooner than later? The ’72 is a true GS that is one of the 88 that was an SCO Riv, possibly the only Buick in 1972 painted a “Baby Blue” color?!? The ’93 is a low mileage, 64K, example in very good condition. The ’95 has 62K miles on it, I have been asked why I bother keeping the miles low, I guess it’s just because I like it. Silver Arrow #152 is at 74K miles now, I would rate it at 9.2-9.4 on a 10 point scale. Silver Arrow #10 was bought to keep it from ending up in a junk yard. It had 180K on it when I bought it a few years ago and is at 272K now. It is showing its age and miles but still runs “mostly” as it should. The last pictures are of my most recent stupidity! Not in my possession yet but I have put a deposit on this Flame Red ’65 GS, it is kind of rare with the Custom White Interior. The price was right so I couldn’t pass it up, now I just have to get another garage built AND find a way to get it from WI to NC!
