Mercedes 380 SEL.
I actually cheated with this one, and started with the all-white car with Hot Hubs
wheels. The car was separated, the old wheels removed, and the body and chassis were
sprayed Testors Gloss Pearl Clearcoat, followed with High Gloss Clearcoat. The clear
glass was replaced with the dark smoked glass from the Cal-Customs version. The "Cal
Custom" lettering on the windshield was removed with Polly-S Decal Remover, and the
windshield was then polished with toothpaste. Playing Mantis Johnny Lightning chrome
Cragar wheels with black tires were utilized. The wheel inserts were disassembled for
the rims to be painted Gloss White. The parking lights and taillights were painted
Turn-Signal Amber Metallic and Stop-Light Red Metallic over chrome silver respectively.
Malaysia casting, original issue.
