Subject: Softtop Rivi's? Sun Jul 01, 2007 11:34 am

Has anyone seen a softtop Riviera?

I seen one around my city..........I thought it was bad ass...........unfortunately I don't have a pic...........

And are they called softtops or are they called something else...........

I've seen them around. A dealer or aftermarket add-on, seen often on Cadis. Not the best look for the Riviera, imo.

dude i seen one in my area it looked real nice..........i bet they cost alot to get put on tho!

Subject: Re: Softtop Rivi's? Sun Jul 01, 2007 2:08 pm

I see one around here once in a while, silver with black top. I don't care for it at all.

I think I'd like it more if: A) it was a convertible, or B) it came that way from the factory. Back in the day GM made real hardtops with vinyl roofs that looked good. They don't do it anymore, so now it's an add-on made of canvas, and those little metal snaps make it look that way. Reminds me of a boat cover...

doughboy, what the color combo you saw?

I have seen one around here purple/ black cherry w/ tan top very nice.

I think black with tan would look real serious happy

That combination on a "REAL" convertible would be sharp! thumbsup

I think it looks pretty good on the Reatta anyway. I did talk to a guy that put a Series I Supercharged 3800 into a Reatta, says it runs real good?!?

The one I saw.....The car was a blue/silver and the top was a baby blue! and dude had some 22's on it..........it was sick............I think dude live's in chicago because he had a Illinois license's plate.........

Andy I think black and tan would be sick too!

the soft top would make the Riv even more so a granny mobile. I don't think it would compliment the look you Riv has going for it. Painting the bottom plastic panels would add much more charecter than a soft top.

It's a hard top, with a soft padded covering on the roof. Far too "formal" looking for my tastes. Seen a couple around here.

This weekend I saw a white Ford Fusion with a Creme' colored fabric top (Landau/Carriage Top-style).

For a Fusion it was an amazing transformation from cheap sedan to a luxury feel.

I liked it soo much I'd have it done to my Fusion if I owned one. Some color combos are better than others.

A 'carriage roof', it's called. Gives an infinite amount of class to almost any car it's on. I've seen a couple of Rivs with it, one of them is on this website, and a few Chrysler 300's. Caddies and Lincolns always have them, and some Buicks and Mercuries as well. A classic American touch to the design.

These tops usually go hand in hand with the Presidential Series emblems

Subject: Re: Softtop Rivi's? Thu Feb 07, 2008 3:27 pm
