That is a nice looking car. IF it were mine, I would go the 'preservation' route if that's what youre into. I like to see a nice original car. Although this is on the higher end of the 'A' scale, its not a Delahaye or Duesenburg. It wouldn't hurt the value if a few upgrades were done. New top and interior for one thing, and upgraded/rebuilt mechanicals for drivability. The wood would have to be near perfect as well. From the outside it looks pretty nice, but if the wood is rotted that would change the equation.
