    She's a 1970 SS Victoria end loader. She is owned by a good friend of mine. I just finished the body work and paint on the car. It took a year to complete, but it is nothing short of amazing!

    She actually was a landau top, but he wanted to take it off and go with the all paint look. Once we took off the vinyl, it revealed the most elegant body line all around the crown of the roof! From that point on, it was full speed ahead with body work and paint!

    He lives in Riverside, California and drives her every day, and once a year, takes her to Oregon to visit his son (without a hitch)! Great old hearse!

    I'll take some pix next time we get together, and send them to you.

    Thanks for the props!

    Best Regards,
    Bob

    Yeah... I like the flattop, too. Only 14000 of them were made, and most of them chopped up to fix coupes! You should see the interior. I'll post pix when I get a chance...

    Thanks for the props!
