Well the car was very noticeable as I have never seen that color before as well as that type of wheel on the car!

By the way one of my lottery cars is a 1965 Riviera Gran Sport black on black with true wire wheels with black walls.

You might like my other first gen Riv then too...
Not black on black, but a pretty "midnight blue" with white interior. I like interior and exterior colors that contrast each other.

The Riviera when initially drawn had "LaSalle" badging in the preliminary design sketches. Cadillac was not interested in the car, so a contest was held internally at GM to see which division would be awarded the project.
Buick was the only division that hired an outside advertising firm to assist in creating a proposal presentation and was ultimately given the project as a result of "wooing" GM executives with their enthusiasm for the design.

I love how the front of the 65 Riv and 65 GTO are "kinda" similar and is probably why these 2 cars are amongst my 5 lotto cars.
Looking forward to meeting you and seeing the 64' this weekend, let's hope the weather is better than predicted
