Omni plus....wooking with a friend on this one...he's got a yellow one already !....and a blue one and a white one..loves checkers
 
OMG! One of my favorite cars! I had a '63 taxicab. All black with a red interior. Had a quarter inch thick formed, cast aluminum divider with ...no shit, 3/4in thick glass across, and a center part that rolled up and down electrically! Had the meter on the dash, cool steering wheel etc... I really loved that car. One weekend in Panama City Beach we had 12 girls in it. Cruised up and down Miracle Strip and the girls would just get in! :D What a great car and great memories.
 
3 coats UV clear....a little peel and kamakazi bugs but it's gonna be cut anyhow. Took the advice on here and gonna clear in two sessions...

That car is looking great; I had thought years ago about buying one and putting a diesel engine in it and using for work.
Well built tanks, for sure.

They actually we're produced with an oldsmobile deisel as an option..also an LP option..This one started it's life as a diesel..long gone before we started on it..The cars are very affordable as far as classics go...Parts can be a challenge,but are obtainable right now...
