Great car, Don! A solid '37 is a fine example, particularly in such an original state. I wish my first project had been that good.

Don, excellent car! You'll surely take a rouge Award at it's first EFV8 Concourse. An enviable award available only to originals.

It looks like a very solid car. Unrotted examples are hard to come by these days. Thanks for sharing the photo. The first thing I thought when I saw it was "Rouge winner".

Lovely car. I find the originals tend to get as much or more attention at shows.

Rouge winner? Why do you guy's think that? I thought those cars were completely restored like new?

The car is looking good. You are lucky to find such a nice original car. The Rouge class is for unrestored 'survivor' cars. There are 3 categories, exterior, interior and running gear. The rules for this class are in the front of the Roster. These cars are becoming more valuable as reference sources, so restorers can see how Henry did it. If the paint is original, I would not repaint the car, just touch up any rust so that the tin worm won't feed on your car. Then drive it to a National Meet and basque in all of the compliments on your original car. Tom

I have no plans at all for a repaint. I'm driving it as it is. It was in a barn since 1966 in southern VA. and I purchased it from a gentlemen for the sum of $1000.00. It took me 8 years to get it road ready.
