Try and find a totally stock car in a car show nowadays...rare. When I go to a show I appreciate seeing what cars looked like when they were new. I have to use my imagination more and more.

Finding an stock, sometimes even a largely original Ford Model A is super easy, compared to a stock Model B. Try to find a stock 1932 Ford Roadster, and tell me how many you were able to find. If, once in a blue moon, a stock example surfaces, usually in the $70K to $80K range, it's being picked up by somebody like Mike Meyer who wants to build a classic 1940s Hot Rod out of it. And the non-Roadsters were bought just for their bones, whereas the body was scrapped.

That's sure true. A '32 Ford is a thing of beauty. Especially a Roadster or a three window coupe IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. I wouldn't walk across the street to look at a '32 that has been rodded. It's the same as taking a Michelangelo art work and spray painting graffiti all over it Yuck! That just makes an original unmolested '32 that much more attractive.

Mine is the car guys that get pissed at me because I encourage the kids to get in my truck and if you want a picture of you in the truck, sure I'll take it.
They say I give everyone the Idea the cars are here for fun instead of a pretty look at me show buy stay your distance or I'll bitch at you. I guess I would rather spark an interest instead of spoil some ones vision of car guys

I too encourage the kids to get in my truck for pictures, but what really gets me is when the grand parents don't believe I bought the truck brand new in 29 when I got out of high school, LOL.
