It'll be California White/ Cascade White/ Ivory. I'm not sure which name they used for color code #42 in '72 but California White sounds the coolest.(although being in Seattle I guess cascade white is more appropriate)
I've heard great things about x-ray but this would be my first Volvo old enough to get through their doors. Up till now I've only had 240's and a 760 and if I didn't have the time space or know-how to fix something I'd always go to Daisywagen. They are an absolutely fantastic shop!!
Just to be clear- there was a guy who took over for Odvar at Ballard Family Auto
who essentially drove the business into the ground over the course of several years. Then at the beginning of '08 my friend and his investor/developer partner bought the place and are, I believe turning the business around (with Odvars blessing).
Anyway, you'll know when my car is back because I'll likely be posting celebratory pics and requests for advice as I continue my quest to further restore/upgrade this latest vehicle obsession. I was planning to begin showing it off at the Swedish Cruise-in at the XXX Root Beer in mid February but it looks like I'll be out of town that weekend.
Let me know if you need help with any of your planned procedures!
