    Beautiful car. Where could this one go to in bidding? Note the rusty looking (in a few areas) rear bumper.

    Very nice Custom Cruiser! Looks like the one that I just sold but in much better condition.

    The Woodgrain was not re-done properly. Not even "close" to what the
    original factory color was. :taz:

    Doesn't look bad compared to factory stock images.

    What's supposedly wrong with the wood grain? I don't see it.

    The Factory woodgrain was a DARK Walnut. The color of the re-done
    Woodgrain is Way too light. AND the re-done woodgrain is more of a
    Matt finish than the original semi-gloss finish. I've had 2 over the years.
    So, I spotted it immediately. Hope this helps!

    Here's the 1976 factory brochure pic. Looks the same to me as to wood grain.

    Here's one with the rare cornering lamp option. Wood grain looks the same as factory brochure.
