65GSConv4sp Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I am looking at a 1965 Riviera Gran Sport in an auction. I don't think the seller has much background on the Riviera. In many ways, neither do I. The seller says the car has all the options that were available in 1965. It looks like it could be a Riviera built with the Gran Sport option - will find out more in a day or two. One thing it doesn't have, but I see many 1965 Riviera Gran Sports had in previous sale listings, is an ACCESSORY switch above the radio and under the dash pad (see the attached picture for an example). What option on a 1965 Riviera was this switch used for? Or did all 1965 Riviera Gran Sports have this ACCESSORY switch (meaning what I am looking at may not be an original Gran Sport optioned Riviera)? Thank you for your time in looking into this and responding to my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Probably a switch for a rear window defogger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivdrivn Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Ed is correct. And this has no bearing on whether it is a Gran Sport. I refer you to the ROA members page for proper identification. Or you can post photos here and we can pick it apart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Just the switch or the entire unit? If you do find a unit, make sure you get the resistor that goes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
