M.K. John's Personal '63 Rivi Custom !       This stunning '63 Riviera Custom was originally put together by Nationally-Known R & C Artist M.K. John.  In this exclusive one-on-one Interview, he tells Jonnie how the idea for a "new" Custom may have started out as a Thunderbird...but it ended up a Riviera !    (Above left: The original Nailhead is still the Rivi's motivating power; Above right: The kool custom interior & rear console/armrest extension)    (Above left & right: M.K.'s Riviera always attracted a crowd no matter where it was shown !  This was at Harrah's/St. Louis Show, July 15, 1971.)                      (Above: Remember M.K. said that he was originally looking for a Thunderbird to customize ?  Well, here's M.K. Crusin' in the restored version of Larry Watson's Original '58 Thunderbird !  The T-Bird, at that time, was owned by HOF Member Jack Walker)   Note: Some pix on this page courtesy of Fastlane Classic Cars, St. Charles, MO, where the Riviera can currently be seen.  Check-out their WebSite: http://www.fastlanecars.com/Public/FastLaneHome.aspx
