This page shows the
first stages of the restoration before the new paint job and engine
rebuilding. The original color of this car was "Woodland Green" lower
and "Campus Cream" lower. Sometime in the past, my
Grandfather
painted the upper black (as noted in the pictures). I have no
idea why. But, my intent was to restore the car to the original
colors.
