I've tried to show this is the overhead photo, but the color difference is so slight it is hard to see. The red of course is totally original, however the Ivory top looks to be repainted. The car features detailed and beautiful tin trim including headlamps; tail lamps, grill and fender trim which are in very nice condition. I do believe the anodized gold trim pieces have been refinished. There are just a very few minor abrasions and tiny hairline scratches in the original red paint, and there is a touch up on the drivers side tail fin that is clearly visible in the photos.
Regardless, this car is stunning setting on a shelf. I'm assuming that the mirrors are replacements as few of the original plastic mirrors survived. The baseplate is original and in excellent condition. Tires, wheels and hubcaps are very nice and the friction works, as it should.
