    Copper with many coats of clear, no doubt.
    The car still wears its original body, and when I saw this car at Pebble Beach some years ago, it was not clear coated. They were using specially formulated compounds to polish and special waxes to keep oxidation to a minimum.

    It took two years to prepare the car for that one show.

    Like I said, I'd hate to polish that car.
