Press Releases and Factory Brochures
This page is intended to display build sheets, seldom seen documents, in-period Press Releases. and pictures. Again, if you have items that fit this intend, please send me a work description, a scan of the document, or a digital picture.
This is the first Brochure page released to the dealers to introduce the 1982 Riviera Convertible. Read the standard equipment half of the page and notice that the car pictured has painted mirrors but the list says Chrome. Chrome outside mirrors were manually controlled and the optional electrically controlled mirrors were painted body color. The car pictured has this option as did most convertibles built, therefore you will see very few with chrome mirrors.
