    Can anyone with a Riviera post some pics of their dash parts? I'm wondering what simularities there are btwn the different years. I'm going to guess that maybe only the '68-'69 were simular and all the others are pretty different.

    Here are some pics of my '69.

    Thanks!

    This isn't from my car, but a '70 that is on ebay right now.

    Thanks for the reply!

    From what I can tell that looks simular if not exaclty like my 69. Althought it looks like that particular one has a few less options in the way of cruise control, etc.

    dash pics

    i've been wondering the same thing. it started with a need to replace the woodgrain decals on my 69 riv. what i've found is that 68-70 dashes are the same except 68 used a different climate control and not woodgrain. i've found a guy who, i think, is going to reproduce the woodgrain decals. contact him at gsetter@mac.com. what i'm trying to find out is what other models used the same dash pieces in hopes that there is enough demand to make the repro worth his while, but i'm not having much luck at it. my dash looks exactly like yours. i got a pic of a 68 wildcat that has the same dash pieces but different decals and climate controls.

    If someone were to repro the woodgrain decal I would be very interested!

    Here are a couple of pics of my '70 Riviera dash.

    (Boy, the camera really picks up all 35 years worth of battle scars!)
    :shock: :bglasses:

    Actually I'm asking because of Greg Setter. I want him to make some overlays too! :TU:
    I did some looking around and it also looks to me that 68-70 are very simular if not identical except 68 isn't woodgrain...it's silver. In fact that 68 wildcat that you posted looks just like a 68 riv. Except for maybe the climate controls. I have a 68 riv parts car that I can take some closer pictures of if we need it.

    Anyone who wants these overlays made please get in contact with Greg Setter so he gets enough volume to make it worth making! I want my restored interior to shine! :Brow:

    From the pictures I showed him of my 69 he said it looked straight forward enough and that he didn't think there would be any issues if he actually got to making them.

    wayne,
    i've removed and sent greg the decals off my 69 for him to study. i hope everything goes well. we may all have new wood soon. i had already purchased and installed the climate control decal from him and it looks great! i've got my fingers crossed.
