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

Hello Pete, 
You  make a good point regarding the club responsibility to preserve the  
marquee.  
However I don't think  I've questioned the club responsibility to verify the 
authenticity and the right  to request the club assistance, that's what the 
club is all about.   
Your point regarding  the Mona Lisa "Everybody knows there is only one Mona 
Lisa?" justify my  opinion, once it’s been established that there is only one 
"F Special" the  debate is over, and let the buyer be aware. 
That is not to say that  one (Don Petty) should be deprived of either asking 
any amount of money for his  object (In this case the F Special) or the right 
of any who wants to pay for it.

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 ;-)
