    Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG - 600 hp and Saphire Black Perfection - AutoLavish

    Thanks to a referral from a top detailer, we were contacted to refresh this nicely modified SL 55 AMG. Saphire Black can look stunning, but without proper clarity, the paint doesn't show in the sense that it should; deep reflective black with brilliant metallic flakes when seen with a direct...

    Pair of 'Sixty-Nine American Muscle Classics, presented by AutoLavish

    1969 was a great year for cars, not good for pavement. Big V8s with tons of torque, relaxed LEOs, lots of attitude made for fun leisurely rides down the boulevard.

    1987 Buick Grand National - Intensive Paint Correction by AutoLavish

    This Grand National was in great shape. Mostly original, mint interior and engine bay, nice wheels. It had been repainted from the doors back at some point in its life.

    1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S Race Car Wet-Sand Miracle by AutoLavish

    The Toyota Corolla GT-S, internally coded AE86, has become a legend in its own right.
