Damn Alex the way you play in and love that foam, gonna have to call you the P-Alex (P Diddy joke cause of all the baby oil found..NOT FOR THE OTHER REASONS!) LOL jk jk
After you put the touch-up in the scratch you should squeegee the excess paint off with a credit card while the paint is wet. This way you don't have thick paint to sand off the good area.
I hate driving in NJ without a get out of a ticket free PBA sticker. Never get caught driving in NJ without a PBA card, sticker or shield. Guaranteed fine. LOL
I never knew how nostalgic I was for these 90’s cars until now. I love how the Olds turned out. Thanks for making these, it’s fun to watch an unknown but now known collectible (thanks to you) come to life. Great $3000 find. Jay Leno should have you bring it to his garage.
It’s so rare to see a creator truly restore cars from the ‘80’s or ‘90’s! The painted pinstripe and incredible OEM wheel restoration was epic! Great video!
I'm curious as to why when I posted Bruce's website LSC deleted my comment and didn't have it in the description. Not trying to stir drama, just hope all is well between them.
The SHO and the Olds are 2 of my favorite cars of the era. It would be nice to drive one again…better yet, own one. Thanks LSC for sharing these with us.
Window tint would be good to get. You can get it tinted with a factory looking tint that keeps out most UV light and heat! ChrisFix did an excellent video on tint for a Ford Escape that he then donated to a family in need. Keep up the good work man I love watching your videos! Come on down to Houston sometime!
Alex, I have a request to add to your 90's GM kick. 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo by ASC McLaren. This was my first car and I know Hoovie bought one a while back. very cool 90's GM.
Your video retention time numbers have to be through the roof. I don’t think I’ve ever not watched one of your videos all the way through. I get super pumped for them Saturday mornings (even though today is Wednesday) POWER BLOCK!!!
Yeah that's pretty cool. I've been thinking about what to get for a first car and bucks with the 3800 in then seem to be pretty underrated in a good way.
@@johnnywood8082 Not by the factory. 90s was when cars were round and "clean" with minimal edges and garnishments. That was purely dealer add-on, and they still do it today. Lots of today's car still coming off dealership lots with the same style pinstriping as they've been coming with for ages if the dealer can somehow find a way to sneak it into the invoice.
@@GnatGoSplat yes I am very aware that it was a Dealer installed option. I’ve been working at dealership service departments for over 25 years. In the mid 90s, I worked at a very, very large GM dealer in Chicago and I used to watch the pinstripe guy do this by hand five days a week.
That episode was one of my favorites so far Alex! I'm an 80s kid and it was so fun seeing the 90s cars racing! I own a '90 Corrado, '99 F150 4.6 5spd, and a '10 Volvo s80 (with the Yamaha built 32v v8) so I was kinda rooting for the SHO, but I love all 3 cars!
I have had the privilege to own both, an 89 Cutlass Supreme International series, and a 91 SHO back when they were new. The Cutlass turned so many heads for being so futuristic. The digital dash and the motorized bolster, thigh, back, and headrest controls were a great party trick.
What an absolute Treat to see that Beretta Indy...love those GM L-body cars! I had a 94 Corsica with the improved 3100 V6, I added a Front strut tower brace from a '92 cavalier convertible, 92 Beretta GT tach Dash cluster, z51 rear sway bar from a Beretta GT, found the Ground effects kit,rear Lip rear spoiler and Solid grill from a super rare 89 Corsica XT along with a set of 15 inch Corsica LTZ Wheels!, damn it!! I miss that car!
Honestly the spirit was not even the same class of vehicle. The Olds and the SHO were targeted to a different market. Was it fast? Ya, sure it was! Was it also a cruiser that could take you anywhere extremely comfortably and quietly? No, it wasn’t. You wouldn’t compare a modern SHO to an SRT-4, even though the spirit and the neon are very similar in target market.
We were going to the cliffs south eastern Pa to go through Maryland and back to pa idk but its what I remember how to get to the cliffs in my buddies 5 series bmw flying down this road in Maryland that it seemed like every front yard had a classic muscle car restored for sale and all of a sudden this little crappy car with 6 kids packed in comes up behind us passes up and continues to build speed up until i couldn't see them in front anymore...i was like what kind of car was that ? A dodge spirit ? My buddy was like yeah they are super quick sleepers
@@scottyas209 What are you talking about? Both the Spirit and the Tarus were considered midsized sedans in the 90's. And YES the Spirit R/T was the fastest midsize sedan during it's production. It was tested and publicized in several magazines.
800 grit is best used for sanding panels or parts to prep before paint. Wet sanding a painted finish I like to go no lower than 1500 grit and then follow that up with a 3000 and 5000 wet sanding paper. When you said 800 I got a little concerned. Atleast with the burn being in the center It would be easier to repaint the door and not throw the color off the fender and quarter by not covering the edges of the door with base.
@@dmacarthur5356 There are multiple variations of the Quad 442 found in the Beretta GTZ/Z26, the Grand Am GT, etc. The W41 was a package which included the 190hp version of the Quad 442. It was only found in the '91 Cutlass Calais W41 and its successor, the '91-'92 Achieva SCX W41 (Achieva SCs could be had with the 'lesser' Quad 442 motors).
There were a wealth of comments like this on the reveal video for this car. I believe all of you, but it doesn't bother me. Also wouldn't bother me if it was gone. Maybe he could get the pinstripe fella back to replace it with another LSC logo variation.
Absolutely love this.. I had a 1991 Cutlass International with the 3.1l. I swapped a 3.8l in it, and it lasted forever.. If that motor ever goes, get the 3800 series II motor with blower.. It will never die!
It turned out absolutely fantastic. I have such a soft spot for quirky 90s vehicles, and that SHO/Cutlass combo...*chef's kiss* The line up of happiness haha
I’ll help. Remove the Sticker. The Sticker don’t go to your car. The 442 option was revived on the Quad 442 front-wheel drive 1990-1991 Cutlass Calais. This model used a 2.3 L LG0 Quad-4 four-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder and two camshafts.
@CRAPO2011 Still the highest specific power of any naturally aspirated engine at the time. Honda beat it with the 3.5 V6 in the NSX but it needed variable valve timing and it cost a lot more.
I have a '12 Challenger in Blue Streak Pearl that I bought brand new. I so wanted the mean, murdered out Triple Black look but there weren't any with a 6spd and Sunroof. All that was available was the blue and I hadn't see the BSP on anything. When I picked up the car after being delivered, I could not believe I ever wanted black! There are so many black, white, grey, or silver cars that just disappear into the background of any scene. I still look twice on sunny days as I walk away! When presented with the option, I will always try to get a color now on my cars. This is a great series, keep up the great work!
So in the mid 90’s is when I got my drivers license. As a 16 year old I was wanting a Beretta or a Z24. Basically the same car. But I ended up with my aunts 87 Subaru GL Wagon. I had that up to 99 and even delivered pizza for a year in it. Then I got 96 Civic EX. My friends cracked jokes on my Subaru. But I would always say, the back seat folds down so I have a place to “do” your sister. This series really had me going down memory lane. Thanks for making real down to earth car videos for just the normal guy.
The silly racing at the end really made me smile. I used to have a SHO. Not very fast by today's standards but it was fun to drive and it was a good highway cruiser.
I can tell ya from experience that Turbocharging that 3.4L makes it way more powerful. The turbo on the 3.4LDOHC walk's on the McClarin GXP turbo 3.1L, I know where one of them is at the moment, the Turbo GXP 3.1L!
Dude can u show me pics I've always wanted to know if one existed...I'm 38 bro and the first car I ever owned when I was of age was a teal 94 cut supreme vert with a 3.4 and I searched endlessly for an aftermarket in 03 04 and never found much...please comment back and let me know man thanks
Even though I can appreciate someone's appreciation for an older vehicle like this, it's because of people like you that the price of used cars continues to skyrocket.
The black on black pin strips were the way to go Alex and adding the LSC is AWESOME!! GREAT episode Alex!! The race against the SHO was AWESOME. Toms SHO is a year newer than my SHO!! Great to see the SHO winning some races!! Great show Alex!!
Love the channel! Still hilarious near the end when you say you only spent $3,000 on this vehicle. Sure- to buy it… but no mention of the hours and cost to restore it. You keep your secrets 😂
Nothing better than watching a Legit Street Car. They have all the issues my real world cars have, that’s my favourite part of the channel. I mean who doesn’t do brakes without a sledge hammer? Am I right. Keep the videos and great car choices coming Alex!
Oh boy. I guess he must have run out of old socks.... I guess if you run a few tanks of gas with ethanol...it might "get rid of" whatever water got in there.
Just wanna say.... I LOVE these LONG videos. The amount of joy and calm I get from watching them is indescribable. I just love it. Thank you for being YOU.
Yea that olds 442 sticker isn’t correct , last model year was the 1991. The 442 meant 4 cylinder , 4 valves per cylinder and 2 cam shafts. They had a 2.3 4 cylinder with either 180 horse for the w-40 model or 190 for the w-41 model.
I just dropped off my car at o'hare auto body to get the fender/front cover and passenger door repaired from a side swipe hit and run. I chose them cause of this channel and the incredible work we have all seen on your cars. I saw one of your cars there and WOW it looks soooooooo much better in person 🙂🙂
You are so lucky. You've had a lot of nice cars on here and I have to agree this is one of the coolest. There's just something about the body style and I remember seeing those back in the day.
22:35. Yes as crazy as it sounds (at least speaking for the cobra taillights) people sell them for that much. I think $2000 is way too much but I’ve seen them sell for $1000. The taillights have amber turn signals and those specific taillights are only found on 99/01 cobra mustangs and some import mustangs so yes, they’re rare. The front bumpers on those cars were equally as rare as they also only came on 99/01 cobras. People could sell a mint condition 99/01 cobra bumper upwards of $800. That was until LMR released a reproduction bumper yesterday 😂.
Hand stepping is an art, what cool guy Bruce is. Love the cutless. Omg the barretta dash is so cool! Glad you showed it, I remember seeing those cars growing up, the Indy edition that is
No it is not a four banger trunk lid do not remove it It is the original car what it stands for you have a special engine in there I am a GM Master tech I just live down in Indy what it stands for quad 442 is your engine It has four cams That's what the quad is for It is a dual twin cam It has four cams two cams in each head which makes it a quad 442 very very rare
hey Alex, just a quick tip from a detailer myself you may know but just a tip. When you are washing the car run the mitt the direction that air would run on the paint as the car is in motion it will help with scratches and make scratchers a lot harder to see in the paint if you don't polish and buff a car.
Word to the wise: dont ceramic coat an area youre still working on compounding because if you hit that ceramic area the polymer bonds will booger up some and really nulify your pad. Im sure some detail experts will say the same. It can be done but its better to keep your pad clean.
I decided to give the Oldsmobile series a shot not thinking much of it, but man did I get hooked and had to finish the whole thing. This was one of the most interesting cars you've had on the channel. Something about restoring a cheap car with simple fixes and clever troubleshooting coupled with your presentation style that made for a super entertaining watch. This last episode with Bruce's pin striping and the race of the 90s was a great finale of the series!
I apprciate these old school tradesmen like Bruce so much, knows every trick in the book and has mastered his craft. Never take people and tradesmen for granted.
I was in high school in the late 80's and I love, love, love this. Memories of all these cars. That SHO actually pulled on my Tuned Port Trans Am after I got him off the line and dang near beat me... we pulled over and talked afterwards and the older gentleman was quite nice and showed me around his car. I was very impressed. Now I am that guy driving a 2022 WRX, lol.
I watch alot of these car channels and Alex has to be the Best channel because Alex keeps it real with these kinds of affordable cars that many of us can afford. Cheers Alex !
It's honestly so cool to see a channel do videos on cars like these. They are always forgotten but they have their own cool and unique factor. Awesome video brother.
2 for $99 DIY Ceramic Coating kits! avl.kg/legit2499s
This is a Limited-Time Deal from Avalon King on their Armor Shield IX so act fast!

After you put the touch-up in the scratch you should squeegee the excess paint off with a credit card while the paint is wet. This way you don't have thick paint to sand off the good area.
You forgot to give us Pin Stripe Bruce's details. He does such fantastic work

FORD pick up’s 60’s & 70’d mostly
Mustangs 67 through 69 fast specs cars and trucks just went downhill after that
Bruce is an amazing pinstriper. The fact that he added his signature clarified the fact even more that he's an artist!! We need more videos with bruce
Bruce is inspiring!
So true!
Amazing talent
Great Chicago accent
Bruce made such a flat, perfect line. I though I was dead.
Your logo in the pinstripe is pretty slick.
I'm so impressed! As soon as hr was like "I'm considering this"... I was like "you f'in' better!"
Looks so dope.

I think he's very excited about this car and couldn't wait to unveil it. It cleaned up beautifully.
@@gagamba9198 also Alex is on a much needed vacation. 👍

I really appreciate the "Allright" and "Um" collage at the end 😂😂😂
It felt like a "Max Headroom" segment!
Yea it was cool. Must not of had any bloopers to show.
Um alright
Someone needs to add a beat and turn that into a song...
Alright
Watching incredible people like Bruce brings a tear to my eye…Makes me realize what a wonderful human race we are
He never linked Bruce's info in the description!
Except during an election year 😢
...and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I'm curious as to why when I posted Bruce's website LSC deleted my comment and didn't have it in the description. Not trying to stir drama, just hope all is well between them.
@@alexandercalderon7098TH-cam will delete any comment with a link, Alex didn’t do it

Extra upload? Hell yeah
My heart jumped a bit when watching the pressure washing near a filler neck with no cap, I gotta admit...
Yup. I puckered.

Tinted windows would look great on this car!

the cop being there to supervise the drag racing really adds in a second layer of coolness
Yeah that's pretty cool. I've been thinking about what to get for a first car and bucks with the 3800 in then seem to be pretty underrated in a good way.
Ok, At first I wasn't a fan of the choice to pin stripe...until the LSC was incorporated...freaking awesome.
It’s just what was done in that era

Alex try 1200 or 1500 sand paper next time , 800 is little to aggressive , especially if your buffing after....learning lesson buddy all good
The fix should have been a blend on the scratch, complete reclear of the door. But for that small of a thing, this was fine
Wow, Max for the win! Best bloopers ever. Mic drop...
Not sure if it was the best but it was alright.
Your enthusiasm is infectious making this 76 yr old feel like a teenager again. I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the excellent work. :))))

You should’ve brought a Dodge Spirit R/T to the table! That was the fastest sedan back then! Need a re-run 😂
Dodge GLH?
Remember the time Shelby put stripes and his name on a front wheel drive Omni hatchback?
Honestly the spirit was not even the same class of vehicle. The Olds and the SHO were targeted to a different market. Was it fast? Ya, sure it was! Was it also a cruiser that could take you anywhere extremely comfortably and quietly? No, it wasn’t.

45:00 this "stripes-guy" is awesome - so glad that such people are still around - all the best for you Sir
Quad 442 stands for 4 cylinder, 4 valve, 2 cams I believe. It's definitely a 4 banger trunk lid.
If memory serves the Quad 442 had the W41 Quad 4 Valve cover too, right?
Nope - The decal is too close to the bottom of the trunk lid. Some schmoe wanted to go faster
@@dmacarthur5356 There are multiple variations of the Quad 442 found in the Beretta GTZ/Z26, the Grand Am GT, etc. The W41 was a package which included the 190hp version of the Quad 442.

Added at least 20hp! 😂@@tedsmart5539
its not a 4 banger trunk lid. that is a decal from a 90-91 Calais W40 package car. that decal went just behind the front wheels.
100% that quad 442 does not belong on that car. That was on a Cutlass Calais and later on an Oldsmobile Achieva.
Reminds me of the early 80's
I agree. It was probably added by an owner or dealership
I was thinking that the "Quad 442" only applied to Quad 4-powered cars.
There were a wealth of comments like this on the reveal video for this car. I believe all of you, but it doesn't bother me. Also wouldn't bother me if it was gone. Maybe he could get the pinstripe fella back to replace it with another LSC logo variation.
I was just about to comment on this, ya the sticker for sure doesn’t go there
I can’t lie, its super clean
Love seeing a video dropped while I just got on the bike at the gym. Thanks Alex!!!
Sweet!! Get that workout in!
Absolutely love this.. I had a 1991 Cutlass International with the 3.1l. I swapped a 3.8l in it, and it lasted forever.. If that motor ever goes, get the 3800 series II motor with blower.. It will never die!
You should have used that factory color paint "youll never use" to paint those new calipers.
It would get way too hot for that type of paint
@@Hosshoggbossdogg Your mom is way too hot for that type of paint.
there is something so satisfying watching 90s cars getting some care
Random LSC video midweek and in the 21st anniversary of my father passing.... thanks Alex, this really made my day sir!
What do you think I could do to the Cutlass to make it faster than the SHO?
300 shot Nitrous 😉
a little forced induction never hurt anyone 😂
I thought you were keeping it stock
Racing stripes and a 442 badge, obviously.
Forced induction or nitrous. Otherwise it's not beating the SHO.
It turned out absolutely fantastic. I have such a soft spot for quirky 90s vehicles, and that SHO/Cutlass combo...*chef's kiss*
The line up of happiness haha
Me too bro...I'm 38 and owned both as a teenager...94 cut suprememe convert with a 3.4 and ... a 92 sho
I’ll help. Remove the Sticker. The Sticker don’t go to your car. The 442 option was revived on the Quad 442 front-wheel drive 1990-1991 Cutlass Calais. This model used a 2.3 L LG0 Quad-4 four-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder and two camshafts.
190hp of vibration😊 I hear the head gaskets didn't las too long in quad 4 engines
@CRAPO2011
Still the highest specific power of any naturally aspirated engine at the time. Honda beat it with the 3.5 V6 in the NSX but it needed variable valve timing and it cost a lot more.
@@calvinnickel9995 190hp was incredible out a 4 banger in the early 90s , Hondas 1.8 VTEC made 170hp

Ford Vs GM. What side are you on?
Ford
GM
On on GM's side, but Ford understood the assignment much better. Yamaha engine? Hell yes.
Ford
I'm a GM guy but I think the SHO has more nuts.
Even though I can appreciate someone's appreciation for an older vehicle like this, it's because of people like you that the price of used cars continues to skyrocket.
You guys edited in the race by accident while Alex was removing the wiper arms lol
Haha It was a teaser!
I thought I was the only one going crazy
Looked through comments to see if anyone else noticed that.
Editing struggle there
That is what made me watch it.
Alright, what a great way to end this video! I loved this comparo! Um, I am all for getting more 90s and 80s cars lined up for showing and racing!!!

Quad 442 was the Cutlass Calais with the Quad 4.
Yea that olds 442 sticker isn’t correct , last model year was the 1991. The 442 meant 4 cylinder , 4 valves per cylinder and 2 cam shafts. They had a 2.3 4 cylinder with either 180 horse for the w-40 model or 190 for the w-41 model.
NOT 4 speed. It was a 5 speed manual. 4 cylinder 4 seat, 2(dual) exhaust. The original 442 was 4 barrel, 4 seat 2(dual) exhaust.
4cyl, 4 spd,dual exhaust is what the 442 meant in that gen
@@tinkeringtrucker5196the ‘90s QUAD 442 meant 4 cyl, 4 valves per cylinder, and 2 camshafts.
My bad , if you go deep and really look it means 4 cylinder , 4 valve per cylinder and 2 can shafts.
Yes, be like Hoovie and get out of the city, I was born and raised in Naperville and now live in central IL and love it.
A random non Saturday video, awesome....
I'm not gonna lie, if you parked the Cutlass next to the Porsche I'm walking over to the Cutlass.
I just dropped off my car at o'hare auto body to get the fender/front cover and passenger door repaired from a side swipe hit and run. I chose them cause of this channel and the incredible work we have all seen on your cars. I saw one of your cars there and WOW it looks soooooooo much better in person 🙂🙂
I have a similar type project an I really enjoyed this series
Now I want my teal green 94 S10 back. It’s the green version of the olds blue.
Your automotive knowledge is exceptional but what really sells your TH-cam channel is your personality - thoroughly enjoy the show
You are so lucky. You've had a lot of nice cars on here and I have to agree this is one of the coolest. There's just something about the body style and I remember seeing those back in the day.
Granny shiftin', not double clutchin' like you supposed to!
Lmfao 😂
now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the engine block and repair the piston rings you fried
22:35. Yes as crazy as it sounds (at least speaking for the cobra taillights) people sell them for that much. I think $2000 is way too much but I’ve seen them sell for $1000. The taillights have amber turn signals and those specific taillights are only found on 99/01 cobra mustangs and some import mustangs so yes, they’re rare. The front bumpers on those cars were equally as rare as they also only came on 99/01 cobras. People could sell a mint condition 99/01 cobra bumper upwards of $800. That was until LMR released a reproduction bumper yesterday 😂.
Hand stepping is an art, what cool guy Bruce is. Love the cutless. Omg the barretta dash is so cool! Glad you showed it, I remember seeing those cars growing up, the Indy edition that is
No it is not a four banger trunk lid do not remove it It is the original car what it stands for you have a special engine in there I am a GM Master tech I just live down in Indy what it stands for quad 442 is your engine It has four cams That's what the quad is for It is a dual twin cam It has four cams two cams in each head which makes it a quad 442 very very rare
2:58 - Editing mistake? lol
Edit: Its been removed now, it showed the race preview twice and the end result by accident.
It's a glitch in the matrix!
Saved me over an hour of watch time 😂
Thought i was tripping for a second lmao
I was like wtf??😂😂😂
Foreshadowing.
Alex............10,0000% the best show on TH-cam!! What car you bringing to WrenchWerx in FL =) SRR-RIGHT? lol
That is definitely one of the best looking Cutlass Supremes of the front drive era. Love that it's a 5 speed and those back seats are crazy cool.
Man you're dumping all kinds 9f soap and water in the gas tank!😮
Uhh where’s your gas cap? Spraying water and soap 😬
This explains why he lost the second race Haha
That was making me cringe also. I was like what the heck?! 😅
Dude that pinstripe is perrrfect. So glad you restored this car. I love it😊
Another mid week video!!!!!!!! Let's gooooo!
What’s the deal NO gas cap and your washing the car 🤔🤔🤔
Just came looking for this comment... I think I almost had a stroke watching that
If Alex loses the race to the SHO it will be due to having 2 gallons of water and soap in the gas tank.
I was about to ask that myself
I saw the same thing. Water and soap.
Glad I’m not the only one that saw this @alex??
hey Alex, just a quick tip from a detailer myself you may know but just a tip. When you are washing the car run the mitt the direction that air would run on the paint as the car is in motion it will help with scratches and make scratchers a lot harder to see in the paint if you don't polish and buff a car.
Love a sho. Ford number 1. 😊
Word to the wise: dont ceramic coat an area youre still working on compounding because if you hit that ceramic area the polymer bonds will booger up some and really nulify your pad. Im sure some detail experts will say the same. It can be done but its better to keep your pad clean.
I decided to give the Oldsmobile series a shot not thinking much of it, but man did I get hooked and had to finish the whole thing. This was one of the most interesting cars you've had on the channel. Something about restoring a cheap car with simple fixes and clever troubleshooting coupled with your presentation style that made for a super entertaining watch. This last episode with Bruce's pin striping and the race of the 90s was a great finale of the series!
Who did you guys have winning this race? No Cheating!
SHO 4 sho 🤭👽🤓🎬
SHO. I had a 91 SHO and a 95 Grand Prix GTP and I'm sure the SHO with the manual was quicker and much faster top end
SHO 4 Show hero 😂
The SHO hands down lol. (EDIT: Oops... wrong SHO)
Thanks so much for the upload today, it's been a rough couple months.
SHO. I remember all the hype when new.
It's just a sticker, Alex. Quad 442 was the Cutlass Calais (Grand Am) and the Olds Achieva with the quad 4 cylinder engine
That's what I thought but my memory is becoming suspect in my old age
Yeah I would take it off
I apprciate these old school tradesmen like Bruce so much, knows every trick in the book and has mastered his craft. Never take people and tradesmen for granted.
Did Max hit POST by mistake!
The ending lololololololol
I was in high school in the late 80's and I love, love, love this. Memories of all these cars. That SHO actually pulled on my Tuned Port Trans Am after I got him off the line and dang near beat me... we pulled over and talked afterwards and the older gentleman was quite nice and showed me around his car. I was very impressed. Now I am that guy driving a 2022 WRX, lol.
Alright!
Shake N Bake not include bags anymore! Lol Only seasoning.
I watch alot of these car channels and Alex has to be the Best channel because Alex keeps it real with these kinds of affordable cars that many of us can afford. Cheers Alex !
Small tip: When trying to cover up a scratch like this. Start from the bottom and go up to avoid runs.
Move south. Better weather, roads, and taxes.
Is it just me or the headlights reminiscent of a Bugatti Chiron
Citroen SM, Lagonda Series 4 ?
Arnie sliding in with that Beretta was so nostalgic. I would get so hype if I saw a cherry Cutlass, Beretta, and SHO rolling out together.
I'm so disappointed Alex, the beginning of this video had NO SPOILER alert! Get it? Spoiler?😅
Sorry I had to do it😂
I think there is an editing issue at 3:00
My thought as well
Good work, Columbo.
It's honestly so cool to see a channel do videos on cars like these. They are always forgotten but they have their own cool and unique factor. Awesome video brother.
