Re: Brookville Roadster more valuable?
I agree with Steve on Keith's story... I have a pile of '36 Ford PU parts that were off of Pop's truck when he owned it, unfortunately in the 60's a cousin chopped it in two and made a farm trailer out of the bed assy. for his farm operations, and the front part was robbed of the LH door, hood, and grille and the drivetrain's gone now, BUT it is still 'Pop's '36' and I cherish what's left of it

Re: Brookville Roadster more valuable?
So since most cells in your body have been replaced, are you still original?
If you have had an organ/knee/hip/etc. replaced, are you still considered original? |

A side note to consider is that people own something for many reasons. Often times a specific reason why someone owns something seems dumb to someone else. For example, most of the time I find that a Fine-Point vehicle is restored solely for the challenge of the restoration. It is the 'backstory' that includes the research for establishing what is authentic or correct, -the quest for finding the correct item, -mastering the process of making something function and look esthetically correct just as it did back on a certain date, ...and to see how far they can push their skill set during the project. To other hobbyists, this challenge is greater than they desire, so it does not seem like fun or desirable. I always tell my customers to choose the way that will make YOU the most happy, and to you will be correct. I'm sure whichever shade of Maroon you choose will be perfect!! |
