Cool reminds me of some of the cars from when I was much younger and first wanted a 56.
... :) ... Who doesn't like a car with original paint underneath 'pinto primer'... Love it! ... reminds me of most of the '55 hot rods of the late 50's and 60's..
Yep, the grey on body is the original color...whats left of it, and the white paint on roof is original.Quote:
