    Hello,
    Can anyone help identify the wheels George Barris used in this version of the Villa Riviera?
    I don't think they're Keystone Klassics, but they were used on other Barris and custom cars of the mid-60's. I'm sorry I don't have better photos Thank you for any help with this!

    Hello,
    Nice photo capture of that Riviera by the shoreline. The background suggests that the photo was taken across the Long Beach Harbor, near the Queen Mary and the Hotel Maya. Across the water, the LB Sports Arena is to the left (Striped building) and in the background is the tall spire of the Villa Riviera building. This is always a great location for a photoshoot.

    So, your search could start with car shows in Long Beach, Tridents, or R.G.Canning Co. as well as others of the time period. Using the year of the custom Riviera or later as a starting point, should get you some search results.
