FAQ: Riviera Interior Trim Options, Colors & Materials

I didn't know they built late model RIv's with column shift! Are you serious? SO, you don't have a console???

and some had a cloth option too :shock:

_________________

Wow. I guess I need to get out more. Any pics of the interior of a column shift Rivi out there? Cloth? puke

NO offense to any cloth seat members out der.

here is a striped model riviera..
no s/c, no buckets, the leather was a different grade (note the plastic on the doors where there is usually leather), no options, low end wheels, and an ugly cloth aftermarket top. puke

no offence to anyone with any of those "features" it is still a riviera.

Ha yes I see, mine has a little patch of leather on the door where this one has plastic of some kind. But what is this different grade of leather you speak of? My riv is the same color in and out as that one (yet mine does not have the beautiful wood kit

) and my leather looks the same besides the door patch.

I think that is still leather on the door, just very taut.

i read somewhere that they had 2 different leather options for the main parts of the seat.
for 95' and 96'... maybe 97 too?
55/45 split bench seat cloth (standard)
sierra grain leather (extra cost)
bucket seats w/sierra (extra cost)
and the "in seating area" had softer siera grain leather (extra cost)
leather cam in taupe,blue,jadestone,gray,or dark ruby red.
i would site my source but its a web page i printed and can no longer find online...ill upload after classes today/

The wheels are the standard wheels, they came on all Rivs that did not get the L67 engine, Supercharged, as shown on the ROA page listed above. The seven spoke chrome was available late in the year but you don't see too many '95's with them.

The full dash wood kit is aftermarket. Factory only had a couple pieces of wood grain, from what I've seen. I have the full kit in my 98, really like it in my interior. Some guys don't care for it, and it does give an entirely different look to your interior. I personally think the dash looks too plain w/o it.

The '95 didn't have any wood from the factory, I think that started either '96 or '97. it includes a narrow ring around the radio and a panel of wood around the shifter. I like it my '95, but probably won't add it to my Silver Arrow.

The leather trim on my door panel is taut. I noticed some of the members door panels are "puckered" or "pleated" for lack of a better word. Both look nice, I have the graphite leather and console shift in mine. I'm not a big fan of the wood trim, IT LOOKS NICE. I'm just leaning towards a sports car look.

Randall, I didn't know the 95's never had any wood trim. I wouldn't add it to a Silver Arrow either... How many miles on your SA? Did you buy it new?

The panels on my '95 are smooth, on my '99 they are not, I'm not sure if GM changed it or if they just turned out that way?
I wanted to dress up the dash on the '95 is why I added the dash kit, I figured it is suposed to be a fancy car so that was the direction I went.

I'm not sure if they added the trim in '96 or '97, since the dash in the '95 was different, there really wasn't a good way to trim them with the small factory pieces? I thought the dark burlewood dressed it up real good.
The Silver Arrow has just over 63,000 miles on it. I found out about it through another Regional Coordinator in the Riviera Owners Association, talked to the owner on the phone a few times, flew to TX, bought it and drove it home. It had 59,422 miles on it when I got it in June of '05 so I haven't driven it much. My truck is my daily driver so I alternate between the '95 and the '99 Rivs when I desire to go places in style!
