Restored Antifreeze Custom Cougar


Recommended Posts

I picked up this Custom Cougar awhile back and later found out that antifreeze is a rare color for this casting.  I could have just put some new wheels on it, but I decided to do a full restoration.  It looked like someone had painted over the original paint, and then tried to remove it, as traces of red paint could be seen.  The toning on the roof looks worse in photos than it does in hand for some reason.

brand new !!! looking at your work i realized what a better quality of metal was used back then as opposed to today....

lol yes and no , i think the quality nowadays is as good as that era. , 

now i would agree with the um want to say 1997ish casting with the defective metal that just crumbles away. , dont quote me exact yearswith the poor metal but ive been impressed with current production , cant beat the casting quality esspecial for the price.
