Turns out that when these were new, the original purchaser would sometimes request the dealership to paint this cove between the stainless trim to match another part of the car... Usually roof or interior. It wasn't common, it wasn't "factory original" , but it's Period Correct.
WORK OF ART! THE COLOR IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
You can taste the colour!
Stunning - a classic piece of metal sculpture from the time cars were more than blobs of anonymous engineering - like today's cars.
Toller auto brauch ich auch dsnke
Nice. With ac too
👍
The white stripe along the side is not authentic and should be restored to the background color; it cheapens the elegant look.
I miss Jim! 😐
Do you ship to Afghanistan? We need more American heavy artillary.
KILL THOSE EXHAUST TIPS THOUGH, THEY STICK OUT WAY TO FAR, the rest is VONDERFULLLL!
I wonder if the AC works because there is no belt on it
You'd think with a full restoration that would be running, and funny no mention of it at all in the Hemmings ad this video was linked from.
Nope.
Is the white painted area on the fenders original? I've never seen another with it.
No, the car was painted that way by the owner based on his personal preference. :)
No, the gentleman who restored her did that because he liked how it would look. Very sharp car!
@@CodysClassicCars Yes but not correct in terms of a restoration.

@slicksne'wonenow '62 Impala had a similarly painted trim.
One person owns one of these by my block
