70 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe
I inherited the car from my dad in 81. He purchased it new 10/02/69. It has spent it's entire life in the AZ desert.
I drove it for awhile and then it went into garage storage for 18 years. I resurrected it in 12/03. It went through a 'very extensive' weekends restofication process that lasted over a year.
The Reference Detail!
The undercarriage is just as clean as the top side.
It was resprayed with a base/clearcoat about a year ago. The pictures don't show the paints high metallic content.
It has 8 coats of Zaino Z-2 (not PRO) applied.
I am planning on experimenting with something different on the paint this year.
