Rechromed front and rear bumpers, new chrome grille and new chrome taillight and park lamp bezels makes this bird really stand out.

Newer red and white seat upholstery, new carpet, clear and crisp instrumentation, correct shifter with new chrome bezel and refinished original steering wheel rounds out the interior.
