    1960 Buick Electra 225 Riviera - weight and GVWR, need help

    Hello! Does anyone know what's the weight and GVWR of 1960 Buick Electra 225 Riviera 4829? Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-1975 says that shipping weight is 4653 lbs but I don't know how accurate it is. But still I need to know GVWR. I can't find it on any plate/decal on the car nor in owner's manual.

    Thanks!

    full 1960 chassis manual is here

    curb weight would be between 4600 and 4900 pounds, per wiki:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_...9.E2.80.931960

    GVWR would be significantly over curb weight.
