Re: Just like the factory, period correct, or owner preference?

It all boils down to what the car will be used for. I'd expect certain things from a trailer queen. And who'd blame you for turning away your head at another crate 350. But I want to drive my packard coast to coast. I don't want 8 miles per gallon, I don't want to get my hands dirty on the side of the road. So nothing you've mentioned would fit my criteria. Automotive technology has come a long way in the past hundred year. And in my opinion style has not. So it is of my opinion that a vehicle should be purpose built. Also that a well preserved original should not be butchered or hacked. That would be a sin. But in some instances (mine) a beautiful rust bucket that has been destined to make my next beer can, could be a one of a kind purpose built joy ride. A piece of art that almost nobody has and everybody wants to see going down the freeway.

My vote: OWNER PREFERENCE
