Even though that is a brougham, they had a nice looking
and unique interior started. But be sure to take a look at
the last couple of photos at the bottom of the page. Not
only did they leave the opera windows as is, they installed
a new full length white vinyl roof! Ouch

That's sickly looking. Should have replaced the broken taillight and put some slots on instead..

RUINED

I'd bet if you asked the guy why he'd do such a thing to a landmark car and paint job combo like a Starsky & Hutch Torino, he'd ask "Starsky & who?".

That is just one of the weirdest looking concoction I have seen.
 
WHY would they put a vinyl roof over a S&H paint job??
Not digging the interior but hey it is nice and alot of worksmanship went in to it, to each their own.

I'm surprised that they didn't go for a two tone vinyl top to keep the Starsky look, but "keeping it klassy"  LOL
