single stage vs base coat clear

The shop that just finished body and paint on my 73 Duster did go to bare metal, prime, paint and clear. Sorry for the quality of the picture as there is post cure shop dust on the car. To my liking the finish, using a year-correct color, may be superior; but I certainly paid more than had I had the skill to paint it myself with a single stage.

Your car looks very nice to me (the 70 Dart)...
