63 riv convertible

Is this a real thing?

 

Well, in the sense that ‘yes, you can reach out and touch it’ it’s real, but did Buick build it that way? No.

Anouther 1 of none

 

If I remember correctly they used 64-67 gm a-body convertible top assemble to make them. little modification needed but they looked good.

 

...there was a well done black (I think) conversion at a BOOM show some years back, thought I had pics, but...

 

Looks like front disc brake rotor??????

 

I had drums, someone spent some money on the convertible conversion, now in a junk yard...sad

 

It needs to be rescued

 

I 2nd the rescue effort...hoods there. There aluminum drum brakes, that why it looks like a rotor. A/C car with passenger mirror, might be high option 63.

 

I am going back to check on it and look alittle closer, was on a mission to find wildcat parts and got overwhelmed...stay tuned lol.

 

Would be nice to find the one they tested the idea on at the factory

 

...interesting side rail fold on '62 concept...

 

Update, it’s an Arizona sunny day car, has no top, someone just cut the top off and put a pretend cover over the back seat. bucket seat console shift car, $2500 and it yours...over and out on this topic.
P.s. it’s at Hidden Valley Auto parts in Maricopa
