Paint:

Full body stripped and enamel paint in 1989. Overall paint condition is 8 on a 10 point scale with very few small chips and general wear. The paint looks really nice.

Chrome:

The exterior and interior chrome is very nice. The rear bumper chrome does need re-chromed due to moisture sitting on the bumper when the car was parked for a few years. The rear bumper shines and presents ok but upon closer inspection you will see why it will need re-chromed.

Interior:

The interior is fantastic! All seats, dash, headliner and carpet are like new.

Mechanical:

This Oldsmobile starts, runs and drives excellent! All mechanicals have been gone though to make sure it is 100% ready to drive.
