I once had a car painted by the Earl; Scheib shop in Elizabeth, NJ. Every so often they would offer a $19 special in limited colors. I was driving a '50 Ford to flip for a quick buck at the time so it didn't matter, but they didn't tell me they were going to paint right over the mud and dirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My older brother had several cars painted at Earl Scheib. He always said, for best results, do your own prep before taking it to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays, you immediately think "drone," but back in those days maybe they borrowed a hook and ladder truck from the local Fire Department.

The ID was more difficult when magnification blurred some features, but 4 ventiports, and the script on the rear door, as well as the hood ornament and taillight shape nailed it, at least for me. Thanks for helping break the boredom, but I am making progress organizing my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roadmaster had a much smaller script just under the vent window on the front doors. BTW, there is also a 1965 Full sized Buick facing the 56's passenger's side rear fender Edited April 28, 2020 by JohnD1956 (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 For those of you kids who don't know who Norma Jean Baker is, she appeared with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot.

One of the best movies of the era- and the cast was exceptional Seeing Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as musicians in drag, hiding from mobsters after witnessing the Valentines Day Massacre, plus Marilyn Monroe in an all-girl band very entertaining and funny movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
