Simply amazing cars. I wonder what the story was with this one? Considering the value and rarity, very interesting that it spent 25 years stored in its "as shipped" condition.

After examining each photo I am not all that impressed with these detailers...never mind the film.
High speed polishers on a car thats been sitting for years, taping off stuff to avoid "splatter", multiple body panel materials to be considered...etc etc. I wouldn't have let these guys touch my Altima.
IMHO, on a car of this magnitude, much more care should have been taken.

If you look through the album, there was significant swirl marks and light scratches in the paint, common for a black car. The only way you get that off is with a polisher and compound of some variety, depending on how deep the scratches are.

Great car, fun pictures, but I, too, have a concern about one picture in particular; the one where the guy is manhandling the hood badge off. Maybe it's just a trick of the light, but it looks like he is putting too much oomph into getting this delicate little piece of unobtanium off. (The new ones at the dealer are a little different, a little cheaper in quality). Very easy to taco a badge by pulling from the top and bottom the way he's showing.

Those little SOBs can be a tight fit. You remove the nuts from below then pull the badge off, they can require a little effort to get off. I would have been concerned if they were using a pry bar or something. |
