Re: original paint cars
Quote:
I think most owners of original cars who wish to use them will keep the mechanicals in tip top condition. New king pins/suspension bushes/wheel bearings/brake linings etc dont detract from an original finish car. Ive got Teds brake improvers on my Tudor, and the steering is slop free. My next job is to re-bush the springs as it wanders a bit. It is vital to keep on top of these things, otherwise we are endangering other road users as well as ourselves! |

Re: original paint cars
My '37 Fordor has original paint and interior. If you look carefully you can see remnants of the pin striping. Car has 61k miles on it and I'm the fourth owner.

Re: original paint cars
My "original paint" 32 Fordor.
The car had been drag raced in the 50's and was hacked up to a point that most would have called it a good parts car. I brought it back to life and think it has a story to tell as is. Some opinions may differ. Neal |

Re: original paint cars
@Neal - I can't stop looking at it! What a great car you have in this '32 Fordor. Don't ever paint it! It's got such 'character'....

That is a great looking car ! If you would paint it, it would just look like every other car at a show. MIKE (mikeburch) |

Re: original paint cars
Some years back at a show , a open raggedy Packard sat next to a fully restored version. You can guess where the crowd was

They ain't on the cars we repaint at work. I'm not saying it ain't original, but lack of what you mention isn't proof of that. Martin. |

Re: original paint cars
My 33 standard phaeton (fairly rare car) still even has the original (rock hard) top!

Re: original paint cars
My original paint 1937 Ford. There are some areas that were touched up, but it is mostly original and the Tacoma Cream stripe is still visible in many spots.
