I agree that CP45M2C170185 must be @glennb49 's car of many years, which he sold quite some time ago. Love the rare wagon vinyl top and the woodgrain paint that Glenn and his wife conceived for this car.

PS: @fury fan and @SportFury70 will be either dismayed or reassured that I beat you to this conclusion!

PPS: thank you for posting it here, because my own post was made in an old thread that few people are likely to dig out.

Close-up pics suggest the graining might've been done with brush-strokes and then gotten a satin-ish clearcoat?
If so, I admire the ingenuity and talent of whomever did that work.
Proves the adage 'there's only 1 way to do it and that's the right way' is short-sighted.

... that I beat you to this conclusion! ...

Are you all caught up with your work now? Or just on a smoke break?

Yes, he "painted on" the woodgrain. I did the same thing when I restored my 77 T&C. Far superior to the shrinky, fadey decals. This is an added bonus selling point for this car in my opinion.

Coffee break. Enough time, though, to point you to the thread to which I had linked in my first post above, where @glennb49 describes the painting process. No suggestions needed . Here’s the link (again ):

Sorry, lots of blue font in that one post. Can't investigate 'em all.
