Ron -

Everyone to his own. I think perfect restorations are nice, but impractical. I want to be able to drive my car (or truck). That said, I like them all original. I like the original experience as well as the original look. Part of the fun is living with Henry's idiosyncrasies. I remember when these cars were the family sedan and I enjoy them from that perspective. Do you want the real car or just something that looks like one? I don't drive it on the interstate, but I do use my truck for regular service locally. Lot's of comments ("My Dad had one just like that!"), which is part of the fun. Of course, if you don't enjoy working on it yourself you're probably in the wrong hobby!
