Shocks - reproduction vs. rebuilt

[mass A man]

Don't wait to drive the car. Shocks or not, the car will go down the road just fine without them. Your wallet will help you decide which set of shocks you will get, but enjoy the short driving season while you can. The original type shocks are best, as I like originality on the Model A's if possible. If you spring a leak with the less expensive ones, I don't know how one could replace seals in them, but I imagine they could be if they went in them at one point.
