RivNut Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Check the archives. I think Jim Cannon posted a list of part #'s for Rivieras some time ago. You have a choice. AM or AM/FM. I don't know if there are different radios for power antennas or whether power antenna is just an add on to any radio. Nothing in stereo. For a rear seat speaker, you need a different knob to go behind the tuner knob; it is wired into the speaker harness and has the fader control. The knobs are different from a 63/64 and a '65. A GM radio from a different division might fit, but only Buick radios have B U I C K on the push buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hillstreet, FYI, I don't think that Wonderbar Radios were an option in '65. My sources could be wrong so anyone else who knows for sure can chime in. If you do buy a Wonderbar radio, make sure that the foot activator comes with it.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do buy a Wonderbar radio, make sure that the foot activator comes with it.EdThe Delco radio number for a '65 Riviera Wonderbar is 7285444.I don't know how many were actually sold in '65; I could try to find out. (WB was only ~8% of all radios in full-size Buicks in '63.) Wonderbar had been around for a long time by '65 (novelty of it had worn off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Is there a tech adviser who covers the `65 models? Like, someone who REALLY knows the `65 models and we could use as a "source"?? Maybe we could conjure one up on the internet...:confused::confused:... :rolleyes: ... ;):eek::eek:....:mad: Thanks Jim Tom MooneyBTW Dont think the factory installed `65 Wonderbar came with a foot switch...but I`ll have to check my sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
