Guest Chucks70 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hey Vito... the more the merrier!What a great representation of body styles of the Riviera! This is great! I've never had a thread give so many ideas for my 65'. Are there any 1970 Riv's out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrys_Riv Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 MY '66 Riviera GS with 2-4's in original Riviera Red (repainted 1984) as part of a Buick Dealer Showroom Display here in WV. I have owned the car since 1988 (almost 19 years now) after purchasing the one owner car. Barry Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68RIVGS Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I think those '65 chrome wheels have the correct Grey argent centres instead of the normal satin sheen Black that we are all familiar with on later style wheels - definetly a pleasing look !

I wasn't sure if the contour of the vent would fit the contour of the Riv so I ordered the cosmetic ones since they were a third of the price. Someday, when I repaint the car I'll switch to the functional now that I know it will work. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the compliment.

youngoldschool Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Whats going on everybody,I'm a very proud owner of a 64'Riv that I just recently bought last summer. After years of looking for a 65' I stumbled up a this beautiful 64 that an elderly woman had been storing since her husband died in 1984. I couldn't turne down the opportunity to buy it. With some minor work this 64' should hopefully be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngoldschool Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Has anybody ever bought anything from "The Buick Store." I'm looking for some front-end parts for my 64' and want to know if they are a creditable company?Also, how do you post pictures in the text box??Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FreeRiviera Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've purchased some things from "The Buick Store" (CARS Inc.). They seemed ok. The parts were sent pretty quick... but right after I made my order I called back to change the shipping address. They said "no problem" but sent it to the first address anyway. I've read a comment from a 69 Riv owner who indicated that he did not care for their service or attitude. However, I will continue to use them as a resource. (I was just checking their catalog yesterday for body mounts and valve cover grommets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 63riviera Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 VERY NICE '75 GS!I don't drive my '76 in the winter. But I do drive the '73.One thing I like about the '73's front bumper is that it juts so far forward, it is resistant to damage occurring from rear ending another car--like I did yesterday after a huge snow storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dcdpgh Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Well I've only had my '68 a few weeks, so I don't have any great pictures to share. I did manage to sneak it out of the garage to take some insurance and registration photos. It was a dreary and overcast day, but you get the idea.

Guest dcdpgh Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks. That's the down side to aquiring a ride this time of year (if you live in the north east). All you can do is look at it sitting in the garage, and get it ready for spring. Spring will get here, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngoldschool Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Here is a picture of my 64 which I bought last summer. This car sat is storage for over 22 years. All I have done is some minor preventative maintenance and rims and tires and new exhaust, other than that, this is how I found it. Hope you enjoy, I know I sure do.............Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8bruiser Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi guys This is my first post and I thought I'd show my ride. Had the car since 1995 when it was shipped from Ohio to the UK. Since then it's been renovated and rebuilt mechanically over a number of years. I use it every season and so far it's won 15 awards for condition. Hope to be able to contribute to the discussions in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
