    Looking for any info on this 1934 FORD coupe I just purchased. Built in California in the Los Angeles area in the early 60s. Probably built as a show car being everything underneath is chrome plated. Has been sitting for years in Florida in not the best storage conditions. Have been cleaning it up and bringing it back to life C7C0A974-97E6-4DE5-94CE-746B3FA3D9E0.jpeg 3576DB22-58C2-4052-9CF3-068851CAF1A0.jpeg 94B28E39-7F03-4795-956A-3A8C9731FE8D.jpeg E5C87184-3742-489D-84C3-882C35FF7855.jpeg A839842A-73CC-4075-AD04-52D5B02FF419.jpeg DC614E9A-C2EC-4738-8EEB-7C08776F5CED.jpeg CC633C7B-5632-418E-A2F8-E65C3C19D426.jpeg 491B4F52-A4D9-4656-ACDD-534B8271215B.jpeg 03E981A8-4420-4741-B002-F143EB2C042D.jpeg 3E53809A-FE0E-4B6F-B7B3-FC44DA353312.jpeg D2760394-DE2F-4317-BBC0-ADE0F0A3E49D.jpeg 5E170C9D-5BB4-4B78-91CF-E1CD2C41D12A.jpeg

    Looks like Buick Skylark wire wheels on it.

    Oh Wow. High end build and still intact - great car.
    There has to be some show history with that car - best of luck tracking it down.

    Doesn't the plate stay with the car in California? Any info there

    Lacquer may be too fragile to buff out?
