The Ford Barn

Question. Why do '35 and '36 Ford pickups that you see for sale today, with the pickup beds with varnished wood floors, get advertised as 'original'? Our '36 is pretty much original and has a sheet metal floor with a wood underlay. My Dad had a '36 that he bought in 1951 when the original owner traded it in, it was all original, and IT had the steel floor in the box NOT the finished wood you so often see.

That confuses me are not the steel floors original, not the wood???? Wouldn't that take away from the value as it is not 'original' with a polished and prettied-up wood floor?
