they made a convertible version. Now that's pretty.

ASC did this conversion along with the Cadillac...many of the part interchange between both vehicles...it is a well engineered and built vehicle.
 
Looks like a riviera I had worked on before. It was front wheel drive but the motor sits like a rear wheel drive car. Crazy. Even the guy behind he parts counter didn't believe me.

Sorry for the sideways picture but this is a riviera I just picked up. It is very strange how it's a standard engine orientation but front wheel drive.

It's an 84 t-type

All the Rivieras through 1985 had longitudinal engine placement.

Nice looking car by the way.
