coupekid Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Thanks all ... the car belonged to an older lady in middletown ,NY .. Im not sure if the colors are original . The side stripe & wheel rims are green ..they should be a red ,white or blue ...like front grille & rear trunk badge .. colors of the Flag.., the garage guy selling it on her behalf said the colors were "Quite horrid" actually a few people have said that its not their cup of tea ...but i think the color makes the car looks nostalgic .. The older lady purchased it sometime ago in CA, & maybe had it sprayed a few yrs ago to suit her pallet ...she must of been some classy lady . has 69,000 miles. ... to be honest i was struggling to find 57 special pillarless coupe ...
