Default Gold Model A Fordor

Can be seen (and purchased) at http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/4393591156.html

Showing on the Boston Craigslist but apparently based in North Carolina.



Gold is good, but for jewelry doesn't it tend to make you look older?

Yeah I think that has been showing up for a couple of years now.

A little pricey for me, but then again it's not my cup of tea.

Ironically the gold plating adds no intrinsic value to the car. The gold in gold plating is put on very thin. There might be $5 worth of actual gold used to do that plating.

If true, is the procedure the same as for nickel plating? If so this might be the cheaper option.
