I remember seeing a 63 with radio delete for sale in Allentown PA about 25 years ago. Only Riv I remember with delete.

Ed,

Never have seen one on a Riv, but in 1961, when dad bought a new LeSabre, he was always one to listen to the car, the engine, the tranny, etc. when driving, so radio was not allowed. He ordered it Radio-Delete,and bought me a transister radio with ear phone....

I still have the radio delete plate, as when I got the car as my first, immediately junkyarded a Wonderbar radio.

Thanks for the memory.

No never have seen a radio delete Riviera. Note also, has a/c yet radio delete? And maybe was an Idaho car so few A/C cars ordered for Idaho I would think in 1963. I wouldn't mind owning that car, but it's too far away. $2500 is too much as I am sure most would agree - for a car that needs everything.

Does the silver patina of the engine mean it's probably original? Wonder what color the interior is? Looks to have been a Black painted car with white interior but the photo quality and condition could mean a light tan interior.

The listing was removed, unfortunately I could not see it. Never saw one before, Silverarrow is the 1st I've seen.

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.
