Engine compartment is nicely painted and detailed. The chrome and grill is original and in excellent condition. The original wheel discs are on the car. The tires and tread are in very good condition and were recently purchased.
Previous to Blair purchasing the car, complete paint and body was done on the Buick, which still shows very well. Dual exhaust was added. The original colour of the car was pink and it is now painted a nice metallic blue. Alignment is straight, along with the body of the car. The frame and floor show very good and are original. The underneath has been undercoated previously.
The glass is all in very nice condition for the original. Most of the interior in the car has been done in the past. The seats have been recovered in a very nice material along with the trunk carpet.
