Awesome car show today!


Paul our staff photographer will be posting some pictures of the car on display today.

Keep an eye out for these two cars,

1949 Cadillac
1950 Ford Convertible


The are two very high end builds but both have one thing in common. Swirled out paint that also needs to be decontaminated.


These two cars will be training cars for the students at the September 25th, 26th and 27th 3-Day Detailing Boot Camp Class!

Excellent photography work!

Thanx for ALL the pics!

Really impressed with the MG-TF! Real 'knock-off' wheels to boot. Even back in the days, one didn't see that many KO wheels. When you did see 'em, the 'nuts' were beat to a fair thy well.

Hope to make it down one day... although with all these beautiful cars I'd have to park a block away and walk over!
Thanks for the great pictures!
 
The owner of the black slant back Caddy and my good friend Chris Levy`s dad worked for Harvey Earl for a number of years at GM.He worked on different designs for Cadillac and Mr. Earl told all the designers "Even though it`s your idea I`m taking credit for it".:awman:
