| Hello to everyone in the forum. IM here probably like most of the people here who have this car sickness. ive just purchased my 7th car, its a 1990 Riviera. I already had an 85 model, but i love the bodystyle of the 89-93 as well, so i finally found one i could afford to add to the fleet.
Im hoping that as i learn more about this 1990 Riviera that i can be useful here, as well as learn some things that i previously didnt know. From reading through the forums, ive already found alot of things i didnt know about these cars.
i got a really good deal on this car, but it has some issues that will need to be worked out, and i hope to get to them when i can. with 6 other projects its going to be tough. so i hope i can do most of the work myself. | |

| I'm really warming up to that body style. I didn't used to think it was so great or unique but since I've seen more around here I'm starting to like them alot. | |

| Hey Jase, I'm a newbie here too, but I used to own a '90 Riviera, so I may be able to help you out some. I bought mine in '93 and practically polished the paint off of it I liked it so much! 1st wife got it in the divorce settlement and it went to heck after that.  Dale | |
