I was particularly surprised to see the Riviera as they're rare as hens' teeth down under!
At the major US car meet's, in Denmark, there's usually 2-3 of the '63-'65 Rivieras. Rare, but not as rare, as hens' teeth
Not many made it down under Jesper...
I did have a chuckle yesterday though as I fired up Netflix to watch Rust Valley Restorers and what should they be restoring? Why, a Riviera of course
Stay home and build models!

Fratzog, used by Dodge from 1962 to 1976. I thought that grille looked sort of 60s Dodge-ish

1964 Dodge Custom 880. There should have been a "Dodge", on the hood, trunk lid and on both sides, of the rear quarter panels though.
