Front bumpers & hood ornament need rechroming, small bubbling on lower right
passenger side doors (just surface bubbling), rear trunk faded, door handles, mirrors, reverse
lights and chrome over rear brake lights are pitted, brake light lenses and all front
directional lenses are excellent. There are several small chips on the car (ordinary wear
and tear, no scratches). Car has been garaged since I have owned it; it is
a fun car to drive; always gets attention because of the color and styling, thumbs up and
smiles always.
