Very cool, I only noticed the imperfections on the front driver side bumper. It's 20 years old, it looks like its in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Truck looks spectacular for its age... love the old 454SS. What a great truck. for some reason i havent really been too satisfied with Americana but maybe i just havent found the right color to use it on yet? What specifically aren't you liking about it? Its rare I hear anyone not super pleased with Americana, if ever. Remember, waxes don't care what color your paint is. Gloss and shine are all in the prep work... a wax only serves to enhance that work and keep it protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha! That's what it is like to drive the '55. On topic. The truck looks incredible, especially when you factor in the age of the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
