I cleaned it off and removed the cardboard - and was amazed to find a highly polished piece of beaverboard, with 1.5" brushed angle aluminum all around the periphery, with mitered corners and stainless flathead screws countersunk until they were flush.
It was absolutely beautiful. And I had no idea.

----Couple of things, Keith. 1st. that garage must have been like your own swap meet with no one out bidding you!
----2nd. Tell us about the 63 Lemans. An older buddy back in 1963 had a new 326 stick convertible and I thought it was so slick, but that one in triple white is really cool, especially with the Rally 1's. It was quick to my 15 year old brain, and I've laughed to myself a couple of times noting that I had no idea what was going to happen in the Pontiac nation a year later!.....Bill S
