Saw this on YouTube, thought at least Greg might get a kick from it.

Thanks,Rex! I hadn't seen that video. That "Face of Fashion Dynastar Grille" was comprised of 160 individual squares that were not all the same. Art made a chart so you could put the squares back in the right spot. It cost more to rechrome the diecast trim on the upper series 1958 Buicks than it did to totally restore other cars. The '58's were unique, no doubt about that. They were a mechanical horror show that didn't sell all that well when they were new. Particularly in the upper series, build quality was pretty good as far as fit and finish is concerned. I had a Garnet Red '58 Super for awhile. It was a beautiful car, but I couldn't keep it running. Carburetor icing was its Achilles Heel.... ;)
