Alot of old timers do this and have since the days of selling of the originals they owned and let go for a handsome $$ have slipped from there own wallets ability. My best friends father started the Caddilac club in SoCal way back in the 50s his cars old collection has been the subject of books articles etc. He sold off many rare convertibles, phantoens, v12 etc for good money. Today he takes Buick convertibles and turns them into caddilacs. Only a trained eye would recognize the cars not 100%. There just custom show cars to me and not a true coach work of its time period. These guys are at least many of them established standard of what is original to be a true original and now they molest 4 doors and drive them touting them as 100% original. To me it's bs
