Great find! Also shows at 2:05. I live only 30 miles from there and attended that parade several times. But in 1970 I lived in Detroit, so I missed it.
The Resto begins on the White Rose Bowl Polara Vert

I bought this VHS about 12 years ago. The quality here is much better...
There are three cars known , possibly a fourth/fifth existed. Many White cars with black interiors and white tops out there and the owners have no idea that it was built for Rose Bowl Parade duty.
When the head rests are missing, there is a reason beyond they were bad

That is how I removed my top as well.
I have not installed it yet but know it should reinstall with a little planning without too much hassle

Wow That is a GREAT video of it. I wonder if it one of the those 2. probably will never know since they all looked the same. I have been dragging my feet on the car lately as my A12 was finally being assembled and the paint started to show issues only to find out PPG had primer issues with the batch that was used on my A12! So long story short that whole car had to be stripped and redone after it was 90% completed! A real gut punch and it burned me out for a little while. At least until it gets done and then I am sure I will forget all about the mess and dive back in on the vert!!
It will get done, just need you guys to motivate me. But as Dave knows it is NOT going to be white anymore, it is going the FC7 route!
