My Mother in laws birthday was December 20th. For 1984 Mom and Dad went to the local Buick dealer Dec. 18th and ordered a new LeSabre.
When it came in it was sent to Rusty Jones to be rust proofed, delivered to Mom as it was her car on Feb 2nd.
I and my future wife stoped in on Febuary 3d to see the folks, I saw the car and fell in love. Today I tell people I married my wife to keep a close eye on the car and get it if they were going to sell or trade it off.
Long story how mom refused to drive or ride in it after it got 50,000 miles so it became dads car.
Fast forward to August 2016 and mom finally sold me the car.
It was no longer the beautiful car I fell in love with by then but for some one who has had a many year love affair you over look the minor imperfections time has produced.
By August 2016 the paint was not all shiny any longer it was pitted cracked and stained. I loved her never the less.
This was the most rusted area of the car.
We took her to car shows all 2017 asking people to recommend auto painters. One name kept come out Dave Dillon of Unionville Mi.
It spent from late Oct 2017 to April 1 2018 in Daves shop AKA beauty parlor.

When we got her back she was even more beautiful than that day I first saw her in 1985.
She was shiny once again, reflecting light and more.
This summer we have won many awards with her. Our first show in April we got a top 25.
A peoples choise award a 3 foot trophy.
A top ten.
Another top ten.
And yesterday a first place in class. Best restored or non restored 1975 to 1985.
