Personally I would have omitted the pic of the car sitting outside in the snow.

Agree....

Also, no pics of the "original" interior.

Plus, if someone wants to protect the underside of a car at least mask off the area/parts you don't want overspray on. It just looks sloppy and rushed with all the overspray.

I suppose that it has something to do with being a life-long Minnesotan, but I think that the snow pic is charming.

Nice car but needs more pics & info. On the minus side the paint job looks a little "dry" without much gloss and those red wheels gotta go, they're hard on the eyes.

I can remember as a sixteen year old sitting, looking out the window of my folks house, watching the snow accumulate on my first car, a '38 Plymouth. I always thought it was pretty to see how the snow, and sometimes the wind, would highlight certain features such as headlights and grille bars on all of the old cars that my brother and I had. That's not at all true of my stupid Honda.

I would avoid the suicidal rear doors.  They could become unhinged and take you with them.

I just sold the same car a few days ago for $500. Yet the one I sold was a true rust bucket that was in more than two accidents and looked as if it was stored at the bottom of the San Francisco Bay for a few years. This vehicle looks super clean, correct, and well cared for at all times. Having the "bright work" done on this car would cost  more than the asking price and I am not tacking on the labor to install the bright work. I suspect that for this car at least one person was conceived in the back seat of this vehicle (which vehicle is not the most desirable make and model to spend money on restoration).  I also suspect that the person that restored this vehicle had something to do with the conception.
