Well, I understand the love of a glossy back car. I had one, a convertible, year ago. (And one of my cars, a 48 Chrysler, is black.) But be advised on three points; A shiny black car will showcase any small dent or imperfection that is in the body; black, older cars inherantly look "older" (not a problem in this case); and you will become intimately aquainted with a garden hose, bucket and sponge trying to keep that sucker looking "balck and shiny" instead of "black and dusty". I wash my Chrysler every friggin time I take it to town. Really. (And I'm not kidding) Having said all this, give the girl what she wants!
