My '66 500 coupe, which I am planning to drive to Lexington if business
permits, is such a car.  I bought in 1998 from the family of the
then-94-year-old original owner, only 19,000 miles on the clock and the
Braille parking scars on both sides of the car.

This Spring I had the scars fixed and the car repainted.  It didn't need a
repaint, being a nice original car, but all those little dents and
scratches annoyed me, so repainted it was.

You can see the "before" and "during" photos at

I'm still not quite done (!) so the "after" photos are not yet posted.
