It turned out, it did rain... only it rained bullets.
Here's another 20 year old model that still looks great.
This is the 1932 Ford Model A400-18 V-8 Convertible Sedan- Bonnie & Clyde- Bullet Hole Ed of 1500.
This has all the earmarks of a George Bojaciuk fun mod.
It's got countersunk "bullet" holes in the metal tampo'd to simulate bare metal. The holes in the glazing are spidered and the BAR bullets that went through body show "horse hair" extruding. It was the horse hair that ultimately killed SS officer Reinhard Heydrich when Czech partisans attacked his vehicle.
All these features made for a fun conversation piece.

It's a bit of poetic license. We went through this 20 years ago.

This is such a cool car. It's one that I really hated to sell.
