Thats an unusual interior. They had two inteiror styles, this one with the ribs, and the more pricey interior with the buttons. This carIt has the lower priced seats, but it has buckets and console. Unusual, and very nice.
I've never seen the vents before either. All the GMs I've seen have air enter through the cowl pulled by the blower fan that always runs, and exits through vents in the door jams, leading outside.
Bill...Its Mark from Carnival...this car rocks and brings back memories - a friend of mine in high school had one that looked like this one. But her interior was red/burgendy. That car would haul butt. I can't remember if it had the 430 or 445 in it. I know my Electra has the 430. Last I knew it was still in her parents garage... I'm going to have to check with her and see. What a fun car!
Please forgive MY ignorance. BUT what is with teh trunk vents? i dont recall seeing them before on a boat-tal riviera. i had a 72 myself it didnt have them, and many 71's ive een didnt have them either. is there a reason for it or?
@yamahonkawazuki its in your owners manual.. if you still have it... i have mine and it says its for ventilation, somehow its suposed to come in through the trunk vents and in to the car, mine has them but im not sure how to make them work.....but thats what i understand they're for...
No need to make them work - the fan runs all the time - the system is designed to flow air from front thru to rear and below behind into and out trunk vents - with the windows closed - anybody wants to see how it flows the boattail registry has a 71 owners and service manuals
@yamahonkawazuki All of GM's 71 vehicles had "Flow-Thru Ventilation" which needed vent on the trunk lids. Take a look at other 71's. Most had the vents.
Cleanest year of Rivera in my opinion.

@jasonbatson I aagree. WHen they put the federally mandated 5 mph bumpers on the car, they ruined it.

Interesting to see the front buckets and console on a non-GS model.
