StylishOne, if you wish to send me a private message or an email (Centurion4554@gmail.com), I can place you in contact with the owners of some of these cars.  You have not indicated whether your car is the 4-window 4-door hardtop (model 4839 -- the "Flat Top") or the 6-window Riviera Sedan (model 4829), but the interiors are the same.

My aunt & uncle had a '59 Pontiac in that silver color and it was just as striking as on the Buick.  I think all of the '59 GM cars probably looked great in silver.

I owned one exactly like that! 1959 Electra 225 Riviera Sedan in Silver Birch. Gray broadcloth interior. I bought it in 1968 when I was a senior in High School. The family that had bought it new was insulted that the Buick dealer offered them $25.00 in trade-in on a new car. I paid them the princely sum of $125.00. It had a new Delco battery and four new whitewall tires from J.C. Penney. I often wish I still had it!
