Do you agree we have already beaten the Buick vertical grille to death? Front comparison not as dramatic as the rear. Looks like Chevy used the tailings or off-cuts from the Buick grille stamping. Imagine the poor guys on the Buick assembly line installing 200 of those little squares - would need about 50 guys in 25 work stations !!! Process or industrial engineering to co-ordinate mounting 4 squares per worker.

Hey Dave, just trying to show you what a 65 year old beauty looks like when it is not well maintained like the ones in the videos.

Bet you a lot of them started out that way as well.
A little paint and wax can go a long way.

Here's how it worked out after LE BARON found some bondo, checked the front bumper, widened the white walls, got out his red and white paint kit, removed the sun visor and added roof racks - ready for the 100 years video.

When Richard found out that the springs had collapsed he went back to CTC for a lighter shade of paint to reduce the weight.
