The original Mist Blue paint has been traded in for a more attention grabbing red. What makes this hue particularly impressive is its canvas is a laser straight body with uniform gaps. This one gets the Super Sport touches right, uch as chrome side moldings moved from the middle of the car to the lower sills, iving it much cleaner lines and helps accent the sporty Rally wheels. Plus, he black-trim grille, nd rear fender badges, ust gave these models a nice quiet aggression. This Malibu SS resisted the urge to be modified over the years with ostentatious add-ons. It just has a few subtle bow tie emblems painted to protect from key marks on the door locks. So in total, his one embraces the clean design that delighted new car buyers in the mid-60s with its combination of V8 power, nd family car conservative looks.
