    Welcome aboard, I'm fairly new here as well with Buick and can tell you this group is a wealth of information. If you can't find something in the search box to the top right of the screen, folks here are more than willing to help answer questions.

    Enjoy :)

    That is on of my all time favorite color combinations. I have never seen it on a Riv. I suppose it may not have been offered by the factory. It will look so much better than some factory combinations.

    Do you get a lot of snow? We are totally against it in N.C. where I live.

    Please put your first name in your signature, so we will remember it :TU:


    There is a black 1972 Riviera in Belgium with a red vinyl interior.
    The owner claims that it's original, but the dashpad is black.
    And of course there is no build sheet.....:Dou:

    Before I came across this car, I have never seen a red interior in a 1972 Riviera.
    I think the interior came from a 1973 Riviera, you could order those with a red interior, but the dashpad has a different shape:

    Done.

    Stock red interior is to red for me. I want to add only some red parts and the rest black, wood steering wheel, maybe chrome steering column.
    I love that commbination

    Nice car you've got.
    (I don't speak Polish, I know a few phrases)
    There are at the least two other members in Poland.

    Welcome aboard!! Looks like you know what you are doing. How many liters will it take to fill up your Riv.
