Turbinator Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Please note the 63 Red Riviera is very close to the Red Riviera I currently own. It is me in the photo when I had hair and a few pounds lighter. Turbinator 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafoam, you already know I’m nuts. The first time I remember seeing a brand new Riviera I was a boy hanging at the hamburger stand in Lomita CA. A boy from our high school came in with a midnight blue Riviera he bought with signing money to play ball for the Braves. In 1963 I said I’m going to get a Riviera just like this one. Fifty years later I got the Riv. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbinator I have a few magazines from the era and it seems to me that Buick never gave a highly optioned car to the people doing the testing.

Turbinator Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Actually, Buick gave me a written description of the accessories available. I tested the vehicle as outfitted and filled the blanks with what I thought how the accessories would perform. I suppose that is why I’m so sharp on the AC repair on the 63.

Chasander Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 You look to be about 30 in that picture. That must make you about 87 years old. Oh and where are the suspenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and where are the suspenders. And where are your eyeglasses? My suspenders were worn, but under the snazzy sports coat. As far as a mature appearance Ive always appeared older. I’m not 87, but getting close. Stay Well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 You had a lot more hair than Tom Cahill! And much better looking !

A pal of mine in SaltLake City Utah did the photo shop work. Thanks for chiming in. Turbinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
