The 1956 models had a different instrument panel. 58Roadmaster wrote It could be that the Riviera sedans had radiused wheel arches in 1955, just as all models did in 1956. I would like more information as well. Yes they did. As you said, all models gor them in 1956 but the Riviera sedan versions of the 1955 Century and Special also had them. -- Last edit: 2010-01-01 07:53:54
