This car has been in my family since the 1980s. My grandma drove it, then my dad got it. It was originally burnt orange but received a Maaco black paint job in the mid 1990s. Some of the orange is coming through, giving it a patina look.
I’ve been cruising it and messing around with it for the last 15–20 years, but it’s time to make room for my teenage sons’ cars. It is reliably driven and cruised regularly during the warm months.
