Got some history of the Buick from previously owner Ken Smith:
The Buick from the factory was all white with green interior.
Ben
Shell of Hayward was friends with the guy I bought from and Ben painted
two toned it as a wedding gift so they could use it in there wedding.
After
I bought it, Gary Minor did some of the custom body work and I had Earl
Mix from Manteca do the interior and my wife and I drove it to Spring
Field Ohio for KKOA show.
Earl Mix had worked at the Harris Museum in Reno doing all of their interior restoration work.
Mini Merc Mike redid all of the body work head lights, hood, deck lid and removed the port holes.
