This is how it was done way back in the day...

The Evolution of a Terminator
The car is a 1960 Cadillac Hearse. After finding the car in a field near Dallas, Wayne Harris, an electrical engineer for Orion Industries, managed to purchase it for $850.

There were innumerable hours involved in restoring the car, but Harris said the result has been well worth all of the effort.
