Thanks, but I'm good. The Napa sourced clips worked fine for 4 out of 5 "BUICK" letters and I used Scotch 3M trim adhesive to attach the remaining "I".

I never found anything on line that did me any good using any search term. I talked to CARS and OPG on the phone to see what they might have hidden away but both said "Nobody makes these"
The NAPA...
I think we are talking about apples and oranges here. On the Riviera there is no access to the back of the panel. The clips feed in from the outside and spread out when the studs on each letter are...
The subject says it all. Old Buick parts - CARS doesn't have them. Looks like a square clip inserted from exterior. Anyone have a source and part number? I'd rather not resort to a glob of...
Great. Thanks!
Simple question: Are they the same or interchangeable?
Thanks,

63 Rivvie
63 Riviera. Fuel gauge working fine recently until "bang" - the needle disappears off scale. I can't tell if it is high or low as the needle is completely out of view. Also can't wire trace in...
Bueller? Bueller?
I'm considering having someone make a CNC'd aluminium plate for the trapezoid shape of the radio panel to accept a newer DIN style radio. I'd make it satin black to match the rest of the panel. You...
I've added after market intermittent wipers on a couple other cars but was wondering if anyone had added one to their 1st gen Rivvie? If so, some specifics for wire colors would be very nice.
Thanks
While that is very interesting it doesn't answer my question. What interior colors were standard for an exterior of Marlin Blue?
Does anyone out there have a big dealer showroom brochure or something that would show the various interior colors which were available for particular 63 Riviera exterior colors?
I've got a 63...
What are you trying to "break" ? Just get a big hammer. :clonk:
Mounted and hooked it up last night. Sounds like a real car again!! Now... to source some trumpet horns...
It's nice to have a friend that works in a machine shop! He was able to use a press and a torch to persuade the bracket on the good horn to "behave" as if it came from the 63 Riviera.
You're...
Follow up: I received my horn rebuild kit from Zips. Unfortunately it will not do me any good because the diameter of the stock Buick horn is larger than the Corvette horn, so none of the gaskets...
When my car came to me it only had the Riviera script on the drivers side quarter panel. The right side doesn't look like it ever had one (no holes) so is probably a replacement panel.
I just got...
My offending horn is 5" in diameter. I ordered a kit from ZIP's which, as of yesterday, was 10% off with free shipping for a total of $32+. I know people who want more than that for a rusty POS...
Hmmm.. I seem to be the only one answering my questions... :confused:
I found this link on a Corvette site which gives a REALLY NICE step by step description of the rebuilding process along with...
I've got an original low note 63 Riviera horn which "ist kaput" Anyone here pulled one apart to see what makes them tick? I've read that it can be done on other forums but no one has provided the...
OK... so not getting any replies, I decided to press ahead and do the repair.
What you have at the door end is three cables which pull or push on a pivoting triangular "table" controlled by the...
Hi all,
I just bought a 63 Riviera which is very nice shape but has an issue I'm trying to fix. One of the 3 cables in the remote side view mirror has detached from the controller end. The...
