A new page to cope with the increasing amount of celebrity owned Rivieras I'm being told about.

rplantsig.jpg (615713 bytes) As promised a few more  pictures of Robert Plant's Riviera. Heres a picture of the headlining, normally not a very interesting aspect of the car but this one has been signed by the man himself!
rplantrivfnt.jpg (582118 bytes) Here's the front view. Its a nice example in pale metallic blue with a white (!) vinyl roof.
rplantrivrr.jpg (638421 bytes) This is the rear view showing the unusual detail of continuing the vinyl roof down into the boattail detail of the boot
rplantrivreg.jpg (510256 bytes) Final detail of proof, if it were needed, is this nicely doctored copy of Robert Plants registration document. Just one question remains, why did you sell it Robert?

 

1965 Riviera which was recently for sale, but I think is gone now. Allegedly once belonging to  Siouxsie and the Banshees. 
79Riviera1.jpg (204742 bytes) This is a '79 Riviera which Richard recently rescued after about 11 years in storage. It has had the bonnet lengthened to incorporate those spare wheel carriers, and in the extra length there is an extra bit of boot space, handy to put your spare pair of spats and keep your violin case presumably. 
79Riviera2.jpg (224437 bytes) Its also had the boot shortened by about 6 inches to complete the Cruella De Ville look (as Richard says)! Apparently this was work carried out by a professional company making 'neo-classics' out of modern luxury cars. Rumour has it that this might have belonged to Marvin Gaye though Richard has yet to confirm this. 
This is a 64 Riviera owned by Dusty Springfield. In the picture is Carole Gibson who sent the pictures to Larry Launstein, who has loads of other  Dusty related stuff at his site dedicated to her.
Here's Dusty sitting in the Riv, just signing Caroles copy of her album.

Larry also has some Buick related information on his site including Buick artwork from Buicks 100th anniversary show, which can be purchased from his site.
