All:
Keith is correct, you can get really special paint jobs from the prison. In the
late 70's, we briefly owned a 66 1600 that had been painted in the Salem Pen.
Two-tone paint, great bodywork! But what set it apart was the trunklid. Full
design from a YES album cover, including flying elephants. A work of art.
Sadly, the entire car went up in a shop fire.
