    Cool 63 data plate detail

    Hi, I'm a new member and am waiting patiently till my 63 Riviera arrives by ship from overseas.

    can someone clarify the data plate details with some certainty please.

    63-4747 is 63 Riviera 11B is November week 2. FB 7124 is Flint Plant 7124th built.

    I'm thinking car was built November 1962 as the sales agreement that I have sighted was dated 1962. However would they have built over 7000 in that time, given only 40,000 were made.

    rest of detail for interest is Trim 778 red leather ACC D radio I6 N2 U8 which gives power windows and vents, air conditioning, tinted glass.

    look forward to hearing from other interested owners and followers of the forum
    kind regards
    Rodney

    Everything you posted is correct. Model year usually ran August to July. I've seen Riviera body 7535 also dated second week of November 1962.

    Many thanks, it all makes sense of the papers and details I have seen.
