Clean Caprice Classic
Perhaps you remember my "winter warrior" 1979 Caprice Classic ... and how filthy it was when I bought and subsequently drove it this past winter:

I've wondered how it might look "all shined up", and a few others told me the same thing. So ... I finally took the time to clean it up a bit! And, the results:

Not perfect, but not shabby either. I love shiny chrome...!

Thanks all!
Taz ... I wish mine was that color combo ... in a 2-tone form.
JJ ... have any pics of your former '79 CC, by chance?
LOL! I'm starting to, too....
As for the paint job ... thought about it. Haven't yet, since it is a winter beater after all...lol.
LOL! No...it's a winter beater 
Five of my favorite shots....
Caprice emblem....
Can you see the moon and my Monte Carlos?

Car of many colors!
Twinkle, Twinkle...shiny!

I wish. I didn't keep it long enough to takes pics of it. But it really made an impact.
