Not mine.  Beautiful car.  Most provided pictures were shot with a super wide angle lens which distorts the car.

Seeing more and more of these wide angle shot ads.   That might work for real estate when you're advertising a tiny studio-sized apartment but it's horrible when used on cars.

Also has Idaho plates on it...

Clarkston is right on the Idaho border.

Seattle on the other hand (Seattle C/L ad) is on the other side of the state.

The cost to plate the bright work would be very expensive today. The price appears fair. A beautiful car. Wonder if the original color was different?

Chrome appears OK. Its the wrong Street Rod paint job that's the problem. They even painted over the gas cap!!!
