That was the style back then. I remember going to the car shows back in the 70's and radical body styling with flashy paint was the "in" thing.

I liked it back then but not too sure I could handle it today.

Spending good $ putting a hideous wrap on your car, expecting it to help with sale on eBay...... Priceless.

Doesn't work for this car. Maybe on an old truck.

I kinda dig the wrap, rusty crusty looks good. Besides, it can be removed so no harm.
