65 Riviera - Verde Green

Saw this 65 Riv GS at Wheels & Wings in Osceola WI ("Awseola" - not to be confused with Osceola "OHseola" IA) on September 8, 2018. Cool, original car.

Interesting location for the Tach.  Wonder who put it there--factory, dealer, or owner?

Tried to find the owner, but was not around the several times I went back to look.
I liked the cool sticker on the air cleaner snorkel. Forgot this image.

Looks like the hood was off a white car originally.  Must of been some drama in its previous life.
