Exterior: The car has an older repaint and the paint quality is fair to good. There is some evidence of paint cracking, perhaps filler giving way in the rear fenders (see pictures). There is evidence of rust underneath the rear fender gravel deflectors and at the lower corners of the front fenders Chrome is in very good condition - bumpers may have been rechromed at some point. Grille brightwork, wheelcovers and trim rings are in excellent shape. Windshield has two large starbursts and other minor blemishes.
