It's funny, the paint on that Nova almost looks satin on my monitor. Weird.

same here...I think it's just the light diffusers used to provide a "softer" appearance. Note even the bumpers don't "pop" like you'd expect from chrome.

Thanks Wilma. I knew there was a lot more L78's.

I agree though. A nice 4 sp L34 would be a nice driver car, but the color does it now justice.

Now, the side vents???? Wasn't some all chrome? and some painted with just like 1/4" showing chrome???
