Perfect day for a morning drive. I made one big loop giving 3 paint estimates. I think I get every job when I drive Goldie. She looked right at home in the neighborhood of Clintonville, an older neighborhood in Columbus, OH.

Great looking 300. If you are giving estimates to even a casual car enthusiast you are getting the job because of what you pull up in.
Way to be you!
 
For a while I had a side business doing aftermarket striping, interior graphics, etc. (circa '96-'99). We used a '68 Satellite wagon. No better icebreaker for cold-calls.
 
A great way to make good "first impressions"! Much better than a generic van with lettering on it. And driving it probably puts you in a better, more agreeable, mood to deal with any problem areas where extra care might be needed. At least they know you have a good hobby, even if you might charge a bit more than "the low cost provider".

Great looking car that most certainly would fit well in many Columbus area neighborhoods!

It definitely puts me in a better mood driving her. I do most of my bids on the he weekend. It is a chore except when I drive Goldie.

I was looking forward to giving bids today, we had a very cold April and a lot of rain in the weekends. It was a perfect convertible morning, first time the heater wasn't on first thing in the morning.
