Thanks, Mike. I think it would be great if you send me the past president's info.

I will make a point to get some interior pics soon. I currently have the seats removed. One to clean everything, and two, to look for any "artifacts" that might offer a clue to it's past. Unfortunately, not a lot of clues . . . but a few old peanut shells. :-)

The interior will represent a tough decision for me. I am a hard-core lover of originality, but the upholstery is heavily worn in places. And, the potential historical significance feeds into my desire to clean and repair what I can and let it be. That's why I'd love to find some period seats/panels that are better than what's in it.

So, I will pose this question to you, and everyone else . . .

The signs are there that this car could actually be a legit Curtiss-Wright company car from their first year of existence. So . . . Do you clean/repair what you can, or do you fully restore it? You can guess my thoughts, but I'm interested in the thoughts of others.
