After the first time I washed it and a week before I picked it up.

No chemicals whatsoever on the car. Just clean. Previous owner took really good care of it.

That is not a car, that is a piece of art. Even a co-worker that is not a Corvette person stopped and complimented it when I brought it up on my monitor.

Thanks for the kind remarks. The car was purchased new by my father in Nov 1960.. passed to me when he passed away in 2011.

I have refurbed a lot on the car... but the paint is all original.

Rainy day here yesterday so I took some pics of the cars. Tried some panoramic photos with the cell phone. Not sure how well they came out.

Did a little paint correction on this old broad. Polishing, sealing, and a polymer coating.

Hard to believe she has 240,000 miles on her.
