Description:
This machine is another repainted for the owner. Repainted in maroon, this old Clipper used to be a crusty faded blue. Good thing it was repainted, actually, given that there was a great deal of rust lurking underneath the paint due to the way that it had been stored for who knows how long.
It was serviced months ago, but the proprietor of the store wanted a rejuvenation, and I feel that it was very much worth the effort. The red and white plays like a classic car.
