Thanks Harold for putting these out here ! The un-cut 32 grille doesn't look all that bad.....

 

I took a shot at restoring the color:

It was a little further gone than I thought, so I wasn't able to restore skin tone. What kind of car is it?

 

It’s a Cadillac Allard. Thanks for doing that

Was the Allard a car they took down to Mexico for the road race ?
