JAMESTOWN, N.Y., April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziebart of Jamestown, owned and operated by Kyle Crandall since 2012, recently had the opportunity to apply protection services to the interior and exterior of Lucille Ball's 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE on display at the National Comedy Center's Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum in Jamestown, N.Y.

Ziebart of Jamestown owner, Kyle Crandall (right), and his associate, Jesus Robles (left), worked to restore the exterior of Lucille Ball’s 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE.

The Ziebart of Jamestown crew worked diligently to get Lucille Ball's car back to its original shine. They first detailed the exterior of the Mercedes-Benz using proprietary Ziebart paint protection to restore its beauty, and then moved to the interior, where they applied Inner-Guard®, a leather conditioner and fabric protection to keep it in pristine shape. After a couple hours of hard work, the Mercedes-Benz looked like Lucy would have just driven it off the car dealer lot yesterday. Kyle and his team were honored to be a part of preserving Lucy's legacy.

"We're very grateful to be able to detail Lucille Ball's car; it means a lot to us, especially with our 60th anniversary here at Ziebart coming up this year," said Kyle Crandall. "It's awesome to be able to work on a piece of history."

Kyle and the Ziebart of Jamestown team continue to provide their customers with outstanding workmanship and show pride in their community involvement. Ziebart of Jamestown is proud to offer services such as Rust Protection, Ceramic Z-Gloss® Paint Coating, Rhino Linings® Spray-On Bed Liner, detailing and a variety of protection films.
