Wow......that's a great find Grant! I was hoping you or Chris would buy a car and document the process sometime soon. Ironically, just a few days ago I was revisiting the thread on your 67 and Chris's 65. I just love the eye for detail!

With the Meguiars compound, is that a traditional buffer or a DA type polisher?

Hi Tim... I use an old Makita DA type polisher with a foam pad. This compound is very easy to use, even by hand it worked well around deck lid letters and other areas.

Default Some new photos today...

Finally had a nice sunny day here today and went for a drive. I had a few of these cars back in the early 80's to early 90's. They are nice driving cars and could easily be daily driven today. I decided to go with some modern radial whitewall tires, the old General Jumbo bias ply tires that were on the car were very old.

Mr. Baber,

This recent minty find should not surprise as you definitely have a knack for “sifting” out Factory Original automobiles. After all, you do live in the Gold Rush country.

I lost count on all the cool cars you have owned over the decades.
This ‘71 Oldsmobile C/S in the striking BitterSWEET color is another gem.

You have taken a well cared for Unrestored Survivor to another level and how enjoyable it is to witness.

Thank you, 60sStuff
