Rivieras in Palm Springs CA

[JanZverina]

I was in Palm Springs recently and came across two nice Rivs. The Desert Sand (is that the right name?) '63 was parked on the main street with its windows down, and then later I saw it parked in a rather nice neighborhood - windows down again. (It doesn't rain in PS so maybe they don't need to work!) It had a repaint and was an early '63 - a non-ribbed dash applique and a 120mph speedo. It needed some courtesy light lenses but otherwise was pretty complete. The '65 was in the back lot at McCormick Auction Co., which is getting ready for their big auction in the next week or two. It was tastefully done and in good cosmetic shape. Anyone know these cars?

Nice looking cars. Makes me want to move to So. Cal. just for the weather and the ability to drive my cars year round.

The front of the '65 shows you why you want to paint the inner fenders and radiator core support black.

Hi Ed,

Yes, that's why I took that front-end pix from both angles. Lots of other nice cars in the area (but not for this forum) including a '65 Wildcat coupe.
