I have a 1950 Buick 4D sedan Roadmaster but I notice some of them are different in rear window design (1950) & chrome arrangement is there such a thing as a Riviera type Roadmaster of sort I am new with the Buicks always had Chevy's if so how can one distinguish the difference

 

thanks

  Gary, I know I have seen pics of your car, but can not locate them.  A Roadmaster Mod 71 will mot have wing vents behind the back doors. A Mod 72 WILL have wing vents behind the back door. A Mod 72 is a Riviera Sedan.
