1962 Buick Invicta - Training Car for the May Competition Ready 3-Day Detailing Classes
Here's the last car for this weekend's car. This is a resto-rod 1962 Buick Invicta that belongs to my good friend Richard. Richard let us use his black 1940 Ford streetrod at my January class. He trusts Autogeek with all his cars.
When this car arrived one of my friends looked at it and said it looked so nice. I thought it did to and for that reason I wasn't going to use it for the class. It was cloudy out and when the clouds block the sun the paint looked PERFECT!
I said... wait for it... and then... the clouds moved out of the way and the sun lit up the paint and guess what we discovered?
Holograms

See the lines that look holographic in the paint?
Here's a closer shot - these are holograms.
Richard bought this car at the Mecum Auction in Kissimmee and this is the way the paint was when he bought it.
Swirls with some holograms trailing to the right side of the sun burst....
Here's some shots of the holograms the day of the class. Notice all the other cool cars in the background? This was taken on the first day of the class, Friday, May 6th, 2016
Beautiful car and when my class gets done it will be perfect.
