Re: [Chrysler300] Alot to do about nothing....

You say that a fake has never detracted from the value of a genuine  article, 
but that assumes that the fake is known to be a fake.  Many cars  are sold at 
B-J and Mecum, etc., labeled as clones, or replicas, in which case  the buyer 
knows what he is buying.  However, what happens to the value of a  car that 
is supposed to be "one of one" when all of a sudden another one pops  up, 
claiming to also be genuine, thus rendering the first car now "one of two,"  rather 
than "one of one?"  In your art world, what would happen if all of a  sudden, 
someone showed up with another "genuine" Mona Lisa?  Would your  reaction be 
the same, or would you automatically discount the claim because  "Everybody 
knows there is only one Mona Lisa?"  Well, in this case  everybody knows there 
was only one F Special convertible.  That's the  difference, and if this club 
is responsible in its consideration and  preservation of the marque, it 
behooves it to let anyone and everyone know  that the car in question is not what it 
is purported to be.

I  think it's alot to do about nothing.... if someone wants to spend his   
money on whatever smorgasbord of a car it's his own business. A fake has  
never  
detracted the value of an authentic object. I've been in the  Art business 
for  
over 30 years and seen my share of fakes,  recreations, copy's or  
whatever... 
the bottom line is! It's the  people desire that dictates what the  market 
price 
one will pay for  any object, not the scholars or the purists. 
Misrepresenting is a  different legal meter all together. The Auction houses  
get around it  by using "euphemisms". Buyers together with  their price guide 
should  have a dictionary handy too, its obvious that  you don't need to know 
 
English in order to have lots of money.
(Which in a way is very nice  ;-)
