Tiny is onto it.

Its exposure, exposure, exposure. The challenge is that hot-rodding is easy, there is not form or mold to follow and is seen as "cool". While restoration to original can be challenging, expensive and finding right part can take time.

I've learned to enjoy the searching.

Somebody needs to do a History channel short series on original restorations.
