Gary recently sent me a paint chart from a 1983 brochure. I was looking at the metallics, and wondered when Ford started using base coat /clear coat instead of single stage.
A quick google search turned up one guy who said he had a ‘87 crown Vic with factory bc/cc. I’ve definitely seen junkyard Bullnose with the nasty peeling, blistering clear-coat “scab” technology, but I had assumed they were all repaints. Did I assume wrong?
