Although there are numerous resources, the ROA is one of the
biggest assets in completing a restoration. The great articles,
classifieds and stories in the Riview, and tech advice made the
restoration process much easier. As with any project, there
were numerous frustrations and dead ends, but, in the end, it
all worked out.
We celebrated the 2013 International ROA Meet in Lexington
as a family event with my son and daughter-in-law. It was great
to enjoy and discuss the many generations of the Riviera; a
time to gather with and meet new friends and enjoy a common
hobby (obsession) together! It was a real treat to see the eight
generations of Rivieras in one place and see the unique differ-
ences from year to year, generation to generation. Attending an
ROA International Meet is a must.
