@fob1xxl4 years ago As a kid of 13, when i first saw this car in the showroom i went crazy! At the time it was unbelievable. No car had as much chrome on it as this one. id="hidden3" it was a one of a kind! Still quite beautiful! Cars during this period were all steel. No fiberglass, or aluminum. They weighed a ton, but were solid! It was during detroit' s hey day. ...Expand 9

@shovelheadedmonster4 years ago The amount of chrome is hysterical jay lenno described gm as putting chrome on with a trowl in the late 50s and i would say this car sums that statement up pretty well.

@edwardwilliams24389 months ago How much chrome does a car need? Those fins are super. You could shave with those beauties. What is the curb weight of this monster? Too bad there were no engine shots. All in all. Stellar!
