PWB Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Greetings Riviera fans Check out this fine '66. Would you point out anything unique about it? Thanks Edited January 18, 2017 by PWB (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Curran Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Really nice looking example. It has the optional deluxe wheel covers with the spinners which are a pain to keep clean but sure look nice on the car. No vinyl roof which some prefer. Bucket seats and full console is nice as well. The triple white wall tires are a nice touch too. The base plate for the remote mirror switch is actually mounted straight and a number of them were not. Just a fine looking car!

steelman Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 You mean the fact that the tail light trim lines up well at the top passenger side? Rear bumper is exceptionally straight and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you guys got great calls. The car is almost too exceptional. So can you guess why this is so unique? I'll give some more time for others to chime in Edited January 18, 2017 by PWB (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) The wheel wells are flared. Sorta reminds me of a Toronado. The bumper corners have received some modification also. It was a real pleasure meeting you today Paul!! Edited January 19, 2017 by JZRIV (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - looks like someone has spent a lot of time 'squaring-up' and fitting all of the panels and trim as well. ...and that driver's seat upholstery looks like stock, but on steroids (and leather)!

Mozzie Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Someone spent a lot of money on that restoration - far more than they'll ever get back. Good on them - it looks amazing.

CGI 100% digital http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/max-buick-riviera-1966/711444 I think its a fantastic rendering and tribute to a '66. The detail is amazing. It must have taken hundreds of hours to model. I knew our experts would catch the off details. Kudos to all. Geaux Riviera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Curran Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The devil is in the details. Hopefully a scammer won't do the same thing and put it on the internet as a car for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivman Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I thought it looked too good to be true, but not being a second generation expert, well any generation expert for that matter, I just guessed at what seemed to be obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
