You would not believe the number of people who tell me to rod it. NO WAY! This car was bought new in 1930 by the father of the guy I bought it from and it has been in their family since then. This poor fellow had money problems and had to sell it. Before his dad died he had the whole car restored except mechanical from 1988-1991 and in 1992 he had the motor and the rest of the mechanical restored. The car has only been driven in parades since then and had only 66 miles on the speedo when I got it. The speedo was reset to 0000 when the mechanical restoration was completed. It has a burgundy body with black fenders and I would rate it at 9.5 out of 10 - Why would anyone want to rod something like this???? Would make as much sense as putting a 350 Chev engine with turbo-hydromatic tranny in a 1958 190SL Mercedes - may be cool and go like a bat out of hell - but why??
