Greetings!

It is a really nice car. The problem is that they never sold well (this can be read as "in quantity"). They discontinued the Riviera in 1999 - only a few were made that model year, making the '99 a collectors edition. The '98 is identical, not a collectors edition, but really nice anyway. The wood on the dash was after market done by the dealership. The original had too much of a plastic look in the dash. The wood gives a warmer appearance.

To be honest, I take the empeg out fairly often - updating playlists mainly, or if I want to bring the empeg into the office. The trim plate over it is easy to remove, and yet fits in snugly enough to stay locked in place. It is really the best of both worlds - a clean stock install, and yet very easy access.

I am going back to the installer tomorrow (he has my line filters in), and I might let myself be talked into new speakers... Still thinking about that one...
