convertible that qualifies. Other than the mild rake, which I don't particularly like for this car, it's a beauty.

Nosed, decked, molded rear fenders, frenched headlights, abbreviated side trim, flush-fit skirts, a complementary interior, stunning and unusual metallic tan paint and mid-late 50's Cadillac wheel covers combine to make this a beautifully done custom.

What do you think?

Enjoy!

Very nice. But, I agree, the rake is a little unusual.

I think the substitution of the Oldsmobile windshield was long overdue for Chevrolet. That dividing bar on the Chevy hit right where a couple was sitting at the drive-in movie! (at least during the first feature.)

Stunning. It sold for $115,500.00 in Vegas at the BJ in 2014.
