Rosewood interior?

Marck,

I realize this is an old post, but I am looking at a 1989 Riviera that has seats that look bad. The seats are a dark red or burgundy color. Is that Rosewood? If so, any chance that parts car is still available?

Marck/Ed,

I believe Mike & Nancy Book's 89 Riviera has a rose wood interior & exterior. They brought it to the ROA Lexington meet and the BCA South Bend meet. Fantastic looking color and I've only seen one...Mike & Nancy's... and at that time they were looking to sell.

Matthew,

Theres a burgundy and a rosewood, the rosewood has much more purple to it, and is unlike any interior color I've seen before.

Mike and Nancy's is the only other one I've ever seen besides the U Pull It one.

The one in the junk yard is long gone unfortunately. They don't keep cars linger than 21 days typically.

If your Riv you're looking at has just a burgundy interior, they share that color with Reattas and other Buicks and Cadilliacs of the era.

Thanks. I suspect it is Burgundy. Hopefully, I will have it in the near future and I can start seriously trying to find a working CRT, a couple of interior door panels, a couple of seats, a center armrest, and a few Riviera emblems.

I have working used CRTs (with warranty) as remaned units. Door panels are different from Reattas, so I don't have those, but the arm rest I do think I have in burgundy. Seats from a Reatta will work, but are different looking . But if that doesn't bother you i may have a set. Give me a call if you have any questions!
