Car Photo of the Day: Nice Paint!

I never did note the make and model of this truck (30’s Chevy IIRC) because to be perfectly honest, old trucks hold no special place in my heart. But I can recall spending quite a bit of time looking when I saw it at our local home town car show for two reasons:
1. The mechanical restoration was very well done, in that it was not OVERdone as so many cars are these days.
2. Almost in violation of what I just said, the paint was truly gorgeous.

Here was a flat lacquer job that had a deep lustrousness to it that you could swim in. Two-tone blue/black with a business name hand painted on the doors, it was exquisite. My photo does not do the paint justice though, especially since yours truly is reflected in the fender, big floppy hat and all.

Glad to see CorvairDad pull off a win on this weekend’s CPotD. And here I thought it was an easy one. 😉
