    Wait a minute I'm confused did I miss something? the green car you were restoring at the beginning of the video was the 52 Pontiac, but the last part of the video at the end the car on the trailer you have a black Oldsmobile four-door. I don't know what that's all about but that's not the same car that was restored 🤔
