N.O.S formal quarters- $500 lmao
The roof and the back have of the car will have new paint.
Maybe more paint on the front half. He has done an amazing job buffing almost 40 years of oxidation off the hood already. I almost fell over when I saw the shine and beauty of that original paint.

I figured as much, now here's your quiz. How much of the car is Bob having painted?
Back half is getting new paint. Still don't know about the front half.
Back Half. He is still uncertain about the Front

That is a beautiful car in a fantastic colour.
Thanks.
I can't wait to see what it will look like with the correct "blue" vinyl on it. It'll completely change the look of the NYB. Out of all the years that I had the car I never heard anyone say "Hey...Chrysler never put a black vinyl top on a blue Formal". LOL!

Don't forget to treat the vinyl top with a protectant later this year. I'm trying a one on the vinyl top of my '62 300 convert. So far I like it and performs well.
And what is the name of that protectorant ?

"Duragloss 301 Tonneau cover & vinyl convertible dressing" It is detergent resistent, UV resistant sun screen formula. Its an 8 fl oz liquid from Amazon. I had luck with some vinyl wax but when the top flexed some patches lifted and could be seen. I put this on my '62 300 convertible with a white top.
