1961 Buick LeSabre

[prin]

Had this gorgeous girl to show up. I thought that it was fine. Had a nice patina on it. But the owner wanted to shine along with the patina. So, with the exception of one panel, this was factory paint. Therefore, I applied some of Meguiar's #7 on her and let it soak over night. Woke up the next day and wiped it off. Went behind it with some m205 and a good sealer. Cleant the inside and the engine bay as well...

Love oldschool buicks, I had a 64 Lesabre with 300v8/st300 2spd auto the switch pitch made it feel like it had gears!


this looks like a 364 nailhead? guessing dynaflow auto or something?
