EmTee Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 OK, it's that time of year, so let's see what's out there for the 'good little Riviera lovers' this year. I'll start with this for the 1st gen owners (esp. '65): http://californiagrilledtees.com/blog/project/pasadena/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Yup -- I have that same 'T' in white. Got it for my birthday earlier this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 It's not exactly for Christmas, but on January 1st every year I used to turn the heat on full in the garage and wash my Riviera just to start the year right. I would sure like the room to do that this year. This picture is about 15 years old. This year I will just walk around with detailer spray and a polishing cloth. Somehow it just ain't the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is completely OT, but the ancestral manse (built in 1922) has a detached garage with a bank of radiators along the back wall and a complete carwash with hot and cold water. It looks like a big (~12") shower head on an 8' arm. It's mounted in the center of the ceiling and rotates 360°. I know that it works, but I can't ever recall using it for its intended purpose. And to be honest, I wasn't aware that washing a car in the garage was a thing back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slosteve Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I would love to get an uncracked light brown/tan steering wheel for my '65. Are all of these wheels cracked by now? Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I just bought a dark green one which I'll need to paint black for my '65. It too is cracked. I've yet to find one that isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slosteve Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have successfully restored a steering wheel before but these wheels have that chrome/black strip around the whole rim that I've no clue what to do with. Also, mine has some of the material behind the horn bar that is gone. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
