The car is more beautiful in person than it is in the photos. Everywhere you look, the restoration is of the highest quality. Perfectly smooth bodywork and glass smooth paint, and everything operating just as it should
That chrome plating is just gorgeous ! This shot also gives some insight into how beautiful the paint is.
Note the “Oldsmobile” lettering in the grille. Another example of the beautiful chrome plating.
Another great styling feature are the fenderskirts, note how they carry the 2 tone dividing line through.
