Is your car still a Model A? does the thousands of dollars you spent on 'touring' upgrades make you no different than a hotrod builder without a sawzall? as long as it looks 'original' on the outside pump 4 grand into a 200 cu in L head engine to wrest 15 horsepower out of it...spend thousands to go 65 mph on a freeway so some kid in a Honda can tailgate you..air conditioning? really?..

Perhaps the things done to make it 'better' changes the cars soul..straight cut gears take skill to operate,mechanical brakes take sense to have,when your teeth rattle your pushing it too hard...hot?open the windshield,sweat a little..

you can have an 'original' car, just like the one designed by Ford,hell scratch around enough and you can do it with Rouge parts..originality isn't a judging standard,its a choice made by the owner..
