Loren@65GS.com Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Since we are new to the Riviera world, I'm not sure what this is properly called. Both sides are bad and need to replace on Roxy's '63. Are there two different part numbers or is it the same part on both sides ? Thanks, Loren@65GS.com Edited May 21, 2017 by hupplifer (see edit history)
JanZverina Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Hi Loren, I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable side to side. On page 12-12 of the factory chassis service manual they are described as Lamp Assembly - Turn Signal, but as you know they sit below what's called the Grille & Lens Assembly in that schematic and are solid metal. I just completed restoring my parking lights after finding some good original outer lenses that go behind that upper grille assembly. Both the outer "grille" over the parking/turn signal lights as well the outer and inner clear lenses behind them are interchangeable side to side. What's NOT interchangeable are the housing assemblies in which the bulbs sit. Those are left and right designs and marked on one edge where the screws attach them. Hope this helps.

my first riv Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 I needed one as well, Talked to Larry Daisy out of Arizona and he called them lower light pods. His email address is: riviera60s@aol.com Great guy and a walking encyclopedia of first gen rivieras, if he doesn't have the part he will look for it. This is his website: www.RivParts.com Cheers Mark
Loren@65GS.com Posted May 23, 2017 Author Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Mark, Thank you for the lead, I will check with Larry. As I look Roxy's '63 over, I have found some things that are needed. We found a good gas tank the other day and came across some parts at a meet in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago. An owner prior to the person we bought this Riviera from , had started a repaint on it. The front end was definitely disassembled and incorrect fasteners used to reassemble it. In some cases, some fasteners were not installed. We will have many questions as time marches on.
