I have sold my rusty 72 chevelle and got a rust free 69 CS holiday 2dr. It has the 350 th400 and 12 bolt rear. My question is, the car needs paint and a rt frnt fender, is there a reason I should go back factory? I like the color, but not the trim or the silver under the trim. I am leaning towards a solid blue, close to orig, with the wheel well trim from a S,or 442 model. Also thinking of buckets and going black with the int. I just don't know anything about the holiday model. It is a 2dr, vinyl top with no post. Came with 14" rims w/hub caps. Car is blue and silver with blue int. Single exh. 350 olds combo. My uncle bought it in the early 70's so I know it is original. It has been in a building for 16 years and it has no rust in the floors or around the rear window. Only rust is in the rt fender, which was put on after a light fender bender in the 80's. The origanal metal on the car is better than any car I have bought of the a body line. Just need some info and also where to get a rear glass. Neighbors kid thought it needed a new one. Thanks for any info. This is also my first olds and I have been wanting one for a long time.
