Quick poll...maybe...what would you do???

OK so I have an early built 1951 Packard 200. So far, I have found the following: I have a 288 with hydraulic lifters, which is apparently very rare, a transmission that lacks a slotted bolt for easy adjustment, a parking brake that has not been updated with the service counselor, and now I find out I have a trunk that lacks the extra support (bolt through to metal strip holding tank) as shown in the parts manual. The question is, do I update this car to the standards of later cars, or do I keep it
"as is" as a sort of a historical reminder of early builds? What are your opinions???
