Wow, even a (basic) "non-remote" outside mirror --- that's just crazy! Of course I thought you must be joking, and I didn't realize that because our sticker lists the remote control mirror option. I also would've thought (in the '60s) that a drivers side rearview mirror would've been a government mandated safety item. What's also equally strange is how they listed all the Riviera "Standard Items" at the bottom, which normally would be considered optional items on other vehicles. For example, why they wouldn't make the Tilt Steering Column an option, and make the Whitewall Tires a Riviera standard item is just bizarre. It was obviously nothing but pure marketing strategy; albeit very strange in today's automotive sales strategy.

RivNut Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 On the Team Buick website, you can find a complete list of every option available for Buick’s 1963 full sized models. Very interesting. There are two “suggested” option listings for dealers when ordering floor models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the only blue stock color (specifically '64 even though I'm guessing this is a '63)? Looks great, BTW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 @Greg 63 If you would, post a picture of the Fisher Body data plate; riveted to the firewall above the power brake booater.

He takes great pictures of his Riviera all across Central Canada. Don't beat him up about the front bumper. He drives his car more in a month than most of us drive ours in a year!

Proof that opinions are like a#&holes, everybody has one. No one concedes that the mods are the owners choices and if they make him happy, then it should be good enough for the rest.

71GS Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Just throwing this out here. Pretty sure we all love looking at Rivieras, and since the meet was canceled... I’d love to see EVERYONE post some pictures of their cars on here. Virtual Riv meet if you will.. Here’s mine & Robert Doren’s black on red 64 at a show in Urbana Ohio on the 4’th. The silver/ silver 63 is a ROA member from Urbana. Unfortunately, I forgot his name.

Definitely a little later era but kinda neat. The dial rotates around. post up some pics of your cars. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
