'Two-Face' 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado by Precision Restorations

Suppose you owned a classic car restoration business and wanted to show potential customers what you could do for them. How would you go about it? Well, Precision Restorations of St. Louis, Missouri have ingeniously answered this question by restoring exactly half a 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado.

One side of the car is as it was found: rust-flecked paint, yellowing exterior panels and torn leather. The other side, meanwhile, has been fully restored. Check out our gallery below and marvel, as we did, at some of Precision Restoration’s best work.

the 1903 Oldsmobile runabout, usually called the curved dash Olds...

Was first to be put together on an assembly line, predating the Ford vehicles, and never getting proper mention in the history books for that.

Smothers Brothers 68 Hurst Olds

I'm watching Season 3, episode 212, (you can get it from Netflix, mailed, it's not instant downloadable) and they filmed Dick taking his Olds (looks like a 68 Hurst Olds) down the quarter mile in 12.9 at 109

I can't put the youtube video here, the owner doesn't allow that option (he wants you to see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh3qg14K2-M or buy it on his website)

The things that caught my eye at Wavecrest 2010 (biggest woody car show on the Pacific coast)

I saw the multicolored background and shifted focus as interesting as photo composition and contrast

great hood prop idea, only for a woody

That is a whole lotta car

The clean and shiny paint on the dash in contrast to the chrome make a good impression

That is some beautiful chrome on the above hood ornament

I've never noticed the Plymouth ship design on a taillight before

I don't recall seeing a VW woody before... this one looks cool!

Beautiful multicolor flames

A new and unusual way to pattern the wood on the sides and back
