This was my first Mint car. Came from my dad.
This was in my dad's stuff after he passed. His housecleaning folks had knocked parts off and Dad was a heavy smoker. I had it wrapped and stored for 5 years or more. Car was awful. Smelled smoky, was TAN from nicotine staining. We more or less soaked it for a week in different solutions and got it to a light ivory color. Will never be pure white again. But it was Dad's. Wife said we HAVE TO KEEP IT since it was his. He had like 3 cars and now we have like 125.
the clean ones are pretty spectacular.
