Beautiful models Gene, remember as a young man working for a Buick dealership as a driver in 64’ shifting vehicles back and forth the the Riv’s had a small brass plate on the center consoles with the original owners name embossed on it.thought at the time that was a classy touch.

@larry-kemling Thanx, Larry. I always liked the styling of the first gen Riv from day one but the deal was sealed when I got to drive a buddy's '63 a few times in the 1980's. What a car!
