I agree with the opinion of building a nice street/ show car. I would love to buy some fully restored cars but if I have money there is nothing available I want and when money is tight they come out of the woodwork. The reality is that I'm only 50 but looking around my garage I have enough projects to last me till I'm not of this earth anymore. 3- 55 c 300's 1 57 c convertible, a 55 new yorker convertible, 50 merc convertible, and 47 ford coe. And God knows what I will drag home in the future. As a small business owner my de stress mode is to hit the garage and accomplish 1 task per night.

I don't possess the skill set or $$$ to do 'high quality' restorations, but I can /have in the past done nice driver quality 'cruise night' cars that I'm not afraid to drive long distances and enjoy out on the road. I've brought back some dead puppies that are still on the road today in the hands of new/different owners. I'm not sure I could enjoy owning a car that I was afraid to approach or have others approach at a public cruise night. I generally arrive at a show/cruise and get out of my car, lift the hood, and walk away to go look at all the other cars. I wouldn't want to have to 'stand guard' all night protecting my car from potential finger prints. I fully appreciate a high quality restoration and the skill and time involved. That last 20% takes as much time and money as the first 80%, but that's about the time I choose to get in and drive as opposed to chasing down the very last details. I have also gone another route, which is to buy low mileage and original condition cars that have never been apart/restored and simply maintained/preserved them as needed, which is also rewarding in its own way. Plenty of room in the hobby for a wide spectrum of owners. To each his own. On Fri, Dec 23, 2022 at 3:28 PM Bob Podstawski <bobp8@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
