How's it going everyone! My name is Mike, I'm from Somerville,MA just outside Boston. I bought a 67 Riviera back in March and I am deeply in love with this car!! The lines and styling are soooo damn beautiful and she runs perfect! Very well cared for all these years...Aside from the paint and carpet it is belived to be as it was when she left the factory, 8 track player and all!!...I'm into boattail's also being I grew up in a 71 (the best year for third gen I think)...I'm a big Olds fan as well...Anyway, thougt I would introduce myself. -Mike
Welcome from the frozen north Mike !! LOL Check out the Riviera Owners Association (ROA) at www.rivowners.org , when you get a chance. Gotta luv those 2nd generation Rivieras !! :beer :TU:
The 67's are my favorite year of Riv followed by the 1969, 1973 and 1965. Gorgeous and fabulous lines! I love the full complement of gauges as well. You may want to install a voltmeter to complement the ammeter. I love the wine color paint as well. :TU: :beers2:
Mike: Is it possible that I saw your car last April, at the parking lot of a mall in Quincy ? Speaking of 1967 Rivieras: Anybody knows what happened to board member nailheadina67 (Joe) ?
It's a distinct possibility Mr. Boattail, I attended a few car shows on the south shore this spring and summer. Are you from Mass?...
No, I'm from the Netherlands. But I drove a truck in North America and did a 34 hrs. reset at this Chinese shopping mall in Quincy. And that's where I saw a red 1967 Riviera leaving the parking lot. My truck and the small Ford rental car I picked up for that day in Quincy (Maine plates, I know): Click image for a bigger version :Comp:
Welcome from Canada! Great looking car, I seen one same color that had chrome side pipes with the fancy shields on them, ONLY car I ever thought looked good with side pipes!
Thanks for all the big welcome's and compliments on my girl everybody!! I like it here already!! Seems as though there are alot of "locals" on this forum as well. Hope I get to meet you guys one of these days, and check out some of those rides for real!! -Mike G
Welcome aboard Mike from another Ma$$hole. Be sure to take your car to Gillette Stadium in the summer. They have a huge cruise-in show every other Thursday night. A lot of cars show up for it.
That's a must, I meant to check that out this past summer but I work too much!! This summer for sure!
Welcome from the other side of MASS. Nice Riv :TU: , I love those older ones and the Boat Tails, one of these days I love to pick up a boat tail as a daily driver, the tree out back has to grow bigger 1st though :eek2: :laugh: :eek2: .
