This is my father, Ken Becker being interviewed about my brother's (Ken Becker Jr.) 1964 Buick Riviera. The only thing more special than the car is the relationship between the two of them. Witnessing the talent and knowledge they share about classic car restoration is secondary only to the bond they share, it's quite special. Deception (The name of Kenny's 1964 Riviera) took 7 years of my father and brother's every spare minute, in a home garage and became such a work of art, such a labor of love.....a must see for any classic car enthusiast.
May I have a few pictures of this beautiful creation. And cost to do the paint engine and inside.. because im working on getting me one and I love what been done here.
I totally get the ‘deception’...it’s something else 👌 I would.....put just a little splash of color on the wheels somehow to make them part of the overall looks 🍀

Really enjoyed the Video. Great story and a beautiful job well done. I saw a first generation Riviera roll past me in 1968 when I was 8 years old. Twenty years later I'd drive by one that was parked deep on a driveway in a large lot. In 2006 I finally got up close to one that was being loaded onto a trailer being taken away to its new owner. The 65 Riv GS became my favorite classic car because of its unique story, heritage, impeccable design, power, performance, luxury, innovations and visual presence. Don't know if I'll ever get one but in the meantime I've got a 2012 Cadillac CTS4 Awd Luxury Edition Sportwagon that I'm really happy with. One of under 200 made. I built a garage for it. Thanks for posting 👋from 🇨🇦
Hi Mr Nobody, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the 1st generation car roll past you when you were 8 years old :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Gorgeous car. But I really love the father/son story that makes this car so special. I didn't have that with my old man. He Couldn't even change oil. lol Rest his soul. He was a good man. But not a car guy. This car is awesome. The colors are perfect the custom touches are amazing.
Classic shape, possibly my favourite American car. Beautifully crafted modifications and obsessive attention to detail wherever one looks are a credit to seven years labours of love by the owners.
I had a 64 Wildcat with the 401 nailhead with dual cherry bombs with shorty pipes and modified air filter and it ran really strong.But talking about that 64 Riv. She looks very Cherry. Very beautiful Riv. Awesome looking interior and body and paint look also but what really makes it a classic is that 425 Nailhead with the dual quads. I don't know for sure but I think only Rivs and Wildcats had that engine option. That engine had serious Torque. Those nailhead engines also ran very smooth. That is a great looking Riv and something to be proud of. I ❤❤❤ that Riv.
This is one beautiful and inspiring automobiles. I have a 1963 and a 1964 Riviera that I'm currently restoring myself right now. But my goal is to obtain a 1965 Grand Sport Riviera. I have been following these cars for almost 30 years now. My brother had a 1965 Riviera Gran Sport when he was 16 and I fell in love with it and have been chasing it every sense. But my dad would not let him put it on the road because of the horsepower that it had. But I would have to say that this here is one of the most beautiful Riviera's I have seen in a long time. Thanks for showing and keep up the good work.
Hi Marc Fredo, Glad you enjoyed this one and think it's "knocked out of the park!" High praise :-) Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
It's a beautiful car. I was surprised to see the air cleaner when he opened up the hood because I used to have one, but see that he modified it a little bit
Hi Lou, Thanks for your reply and I hope to meet you someday soon as well. This weekend my Dad has his Riviera Grand Sport at Chicago's World of Wheels. This is another beauty of a car with a great story as well. It's a gorgeous shade of red with a beautiful original interior. If you are going to this show, keep a look out. You have a new fan in me as I have been watching your show since featuring the 64 Riviera. You really have a knack for picking great cars to feature, thanks again for filming my Dad and my brother Kenny's car. Here is an open invitation to visit and see all three of their Buick's, I'm sure you would be impressed by them all. If you would like I can email you pictures of them, you will be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Thanks again for featuring the 64 Riviera, it really is special.....Karen

Lou, one of my newer Favorites is these early Rivera's. Just Class. If you place the early Grand Prix and Tbird of the same early years it had to be a tough decision. Everyone wanted a Tbird but I think the the GM models just were made better.
I owned a 1965 Rivera I paid seven hundred bucks for it 1979 cars was my first.I painted it beer bottle brown.deep dish cragers with knots off. wide white walls on goodyear raidils tires.401 wildcat with dual glasspacks. that Rivera cruzed the I.E for many years
