Split Personality Retro Cars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe is a Two-Faced Wonder

— May 30, 2011 — Autos
The half-restored 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado is not so old anymore -- at least on one side! This car doubles as a piece of artwork and one any car-lover would be proud to have in their garage. Precision Restorations of St. Louis, Missouri restored exactly half of this vintage car in an effort to showcase to potential customers the effectiveness of their work.

But its restoration is not just an exterior decorative job. In addition to the brand-new paint job, it's stripped and reupholstered, it has new doors, lights and wheels, brakes, a speedometer, etc.

This semi-restored car is truly an artistic and mechanical masterpiece, and anyone with half an appreciation for cars and the work that goes into a job like this would be happy to put their vintage car in the hands of the mechanics at Precision Restorations.
Trend Themes
1. Half-restored Cars - Opportunity for restoration companies to showcase their work by transforming vintage cars into artistic and mechanical masterpieces.
2. Artistic Automotive Decor - Potential for car enthusiasts to display half-restored vintage cars as unique pieces of artwork in their garages.
3. Precision Restoration Showcases - Demand for restoration companies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their work through split personality retro cars like the 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe.
