Wow. Orange and bright green houses. Now that’s color.
Yes, if the Buick isn’t proof enough that there is no HOA in the area, the house paint certainly does!
Haha. I’m kind of wondering if this isn’t in Alaska. They tend to have a lot of colorful homes there.
Are these “homes” or “garages”?
1969 was one of Riviera’s best sales years. I recall that the first and second generation Rivieras were considered to be very impressive vehicles. I don’t think that the Riviera ever reached this level of appreciation again. As you know, I’m a Riv fan and currently have a final series ’97. I miss this type of car, but will admit that they never were the most practical type of vehicle.
The paint looks pretty good on this example, but maybe this is due to the camera. I hope the owner gets this back on the road soon.
Great color for a great looking car. Normally I’m not much of a fan of beak shape (sorry I don’t know correct name) front-ends l. However your Riviera’s “W” shape front-end is more subtle and not as exaggerated like other cars I have seen. The mag wheels matching blue paint ties everything together.
Nice car .
If my house I’d want to pour a full Concrete apron so as to have a good working area .
