One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was getting rid of a 36 convertible I had back in the mid 50's. These cars were very inexpensive back then. I bought the car for 40 dollars less engine. Found a 49/50 Merc engine in a junk yard and drove it home from Mass to Wisc, and put it in storage. After i got out of service I took the engine apart for rebuild. I was married and my wife was expecting my first child so I trades it for a running model A. The car was in perfect condition, the paint was as good as if it just came from the dealer. I really loved that car, and yes it was blue. Hope it cot a good home.
