Good point! Design wise I meant it as a "dog"

As far as reliability I would imagine that it was a fairly dependable car like most late 60s/early 70s full size V8 cars were! What IS amazing actually about the 1970 Riviera was that it was a ONE year only car. I dont think it shared a single piece of outter sheet metal with ANY other GM car! I could be wrong, but all the doors, fenders, hood, roof, etc look to me unique to a 1970 Riviera. I wonder WHY they retooling it, came up with THAT and for ONE YEAR??? Were sales that poor that they decided to scrap it that quickly? I'd really love to know if anyone has input here as I am ignorant with this year Riviera. 🙁

When I say something about PC I don't mean race. The Muslim who shot soldiers at Ft. Hood performed a Terrorist act but Obama renamed it a "Workplace Incident."

Too much of this nonsense going around.

In case you haven't noticed "Freedom of Speech" is constantly being tested by the present administration.
