... we oft visited Ed Jurist's wonderful Vintage Car Store in Nyack

Su8, have we talked about this before? Ed Jurist's magnificent emporium was just a few miles north of where I live and I visited it regularly in the 60s and 70s - who knows, our paths might even have crossed there at some point. In fact that's where I found my current '34 Eight sedan, on consignment from the original owner. Inside the showroom were the RR's made for some Maharaja, the Locos, and the like. The lowly Packards (at the time mine and a 35 Super Eight convertible) were in the outdoors lot.

Thankfully, there are some restorers who adhere fanatically to originality and still win Pebble best of show or best in class, even with unpolished cylinder heads or other incorrect embellishments.
