66 Riviera

[1959]

This is a father and son project that we finally finished. Starting point was AMT Riviera lowrider kit and the idea of back date Revell Foose Cadillac kit where the modern  engine, wheels and tires were left over. Riviera seemed to be a good fit for those. Fuel injection is from the spare part box and all the rest is out of the box including the lowered suspension. Engine was pretty high so the oil pan needed to be sectioned and the Buick's pulleys and belts used to get everything fit under the hood. Paint is just a spray can gold with clear (done by me with a pretty poor result...). My son did the BMF work and painted the interior and all the small parts. It was a fun project.

Gorgeous looking car, I love the colour. The whitewalls are well suited to those wheels. Very nice!

Nice looking Riviera. I like the early 70s boat tail style ones but those are a close second.
That’s excellent that it was a father and son project. Your son did a good job with the BMF. That’s  not easy to apply.
