1958 Cadillac 62 Sedan I just started restore this 1958 Cadillac. I checked what should I need to do. (10/5/2002)

Original color was "#42 Alamo Beige Iridescent" (Body) and "#44 Buckskin" (Roof). Someone painted red at the previous restore. This red paint is absolutely poor!!! I need to eliminate red paint and some rust. After that I will repaint. However, now I do not decide the color. Original color is one of the choices.
