This document summarizes the restoration of a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. It was originally delivered in Texas on September 27, 1972, the same day actress Gwyneth Paltrow was born. It had just 69,000 original miles and required cleaning, refinishing of chrome and vinyl top, and replacement of some seat parts. The paint was preserved through a five-step restoration and new tires and fluids were installed. The goal was to preserve the original character of the car as it was built by Oldsmobile.
