    Hi Guys,
    finally my 63 Riviera is ready for the new paint job. I liked the white color very well on the Riv, but I am not longer sure if I want to paint the car white again.
    Does anyone of you guys have pictures of first Gen. Rivieras in the color Orange??
    The car has got a new full black vinyl interior, maybe someone of you guys have an idea which color might look good with grey Torq Thrust Rims and the Black Interior? :Do No:

    thanks in advance

    Basti :3gears:

    Custom job on a 1963 Riviera, I know it's not really what you're looking for but it will help you to picture it in a full orange colour:

    The Rivieras dont lend themselves to high impact vibrant colors like orange IMO.


    Ive always liked the two tone silver the Silver Arrow is painted. Its so subtle, you dont even notice the two tone. Black, dark green, dark blue and white look very nice too. With a black interior, you have a lot of choices

    I really liked this two-tone Swiss '65 :TU:

    It always amazes me how many old American cars are over there.

    I found photos I took in 2005 of that same car, here it's still grey:

    Thank you for the pictures. The grey swiss Riviera looks really great, the car is in awesome condition!! :Brow:
    Id like to get a "Muscle-Car" Style for my Riviera, but Im still not sure which color...
    Maybe dark green?! :Do No:
