[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4256459, member: 3099"] Holy cow! I thought all of these finds were just stories from yesteryear. As to the paint... [USER=15054]@swampratt[/USER] is probably right. I don't know when GM started using acrylic lacquer but I know for certain they were using it in the '60s. I had to strip my '66 Impala to put Imron on it. Imron doesn't play well with acrylic lacquer. This could be alkyd enamel but probably not or it wouldn't look as good as it still does. Definitely, ABSOLUTELY find out if the paint is original and of what type before throwing clear on it! Huge high five on the find! It's amazing to find one as original as this one! Please keep us posted on your restoration! [/QUOTE]
