Been surfing and reading on here for a good while now; just thought I'd post up a couple of pics of my 1965 Riviera. Just turned 75k miles this past weekend, and I've had it about 7 years. Country music singer named Junior Brown owned it for 20 years or so prior to me acquiring it from his landscaper. I'm 53 now and and have wanted one of these since I was just a little kid; my Dad bought a new one in 1965 and brought me home as a newborn in it. While I don't remember his car, I have quite a few pictures of me as a toddler next to it with him, so this thing was a bucket list item for me.
We're the same age, and I do have childhood memories of my mother's 64. Would love to have one as well. I have to say, I think the rocker mouldings on these, as exemplified by your car, just make them a little more beautiful.
I've been listening to his music and really have been enjoying it. I just stumbled across Little Rivi-Airhead on Pandora. He describes the 401 and the dual quad 425. Here it is on Youtube
Very cool - great looking Riv and neat heritage. I’ve been. Junior Brown fan for a while. Here he is with The Beach Boys:
