Yup. I swear, 30% of that car was PURE mirror chrome. The diff, the headers(duh), the wheels(DUH!), the side trim(along the bottom of the side), exaust, small trim and stuff(tail fins, bumpers, mirrors, light casings, etc) - And it was blinding because it was sunny!


Now that is an expensive car. All that chrome... Just think about the time you will need cleaning it...

keep the faith
that doesn't matter when you like you don't count!!

He said that the whole restoration project took him over 4 years. But as it turned out - it was worth it!
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species;I realized that you're not actually mammals.

You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed! The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

 Definitely a masterpiece of automobile artistry. Too bad they don't put that kind of car into vehicle dynamics anymore. Well, some do.

 I wish Cadillac would in some way resurrect the marveled tail fins.
They DEFINE Cadillac. MORE CHROME!!!
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species;I realized that you're not actually mammals. See; every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed! The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern... A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

 At a car show, I saw one of these with a fully chromed differential. Wow.

I don't think he drove it often. He might have kept it in a garage all the time. I wouldent blame him - its a priceless show car. And driving it would be throwing his money down the drain - cause the under carrige would get scraped. Come to think about it, I think he took it in a trailer.
