The exterior paint was beautifully refinished in high gloss black (originally Coronado Yellow) and looks excellent! In addition, all four steel wheels were fitted with brand new Coker Classic radial tires accented perfectly by full wheel covers with decorative spinners! Under the hood, you will see it nicely detailed with only the dual master brake booster, chrome air cleaner And valve covers, and modern air conditioning components giving any hints to the changes underneath! This Bel Air convertible runs down the road superbly! The air conditioner blows cold and the factory gauges are all functional. It shifts super smooth and the power rack And pinion steering offers effortless lane management and parking maneuverability!
