True. I would have preferred the look of this car much more if it didn't have the light covers, and spare tire cover on - and better yet blackwalls. I was happy to see that it still had the spare on the rear. Everyone has their preference though which is a nice thing about the hobby - do with your car as you see fit. If the mechanicals are good, and the body and upholstery are as good as its looks in the photo its worth 20K imho.
It seems roadsters are particularly prone to being tarted up as deluxe cars when in reality the majority of Model A's were not. My car had cowl lights put on prior to my grandfather buying the car in the 60's but as hacked up as the holes are I'm certain it was a standard car as it also had no dome light. When I restore mine its going to be a standard coupe with black wheels and the original colors.
