My car would have awesome stories of my great great uncle running moonshine with it. Much more interesting then discussing original specifications with it lol.

I have always had a dream that I had a time machine and could go back and buy a Ford brand new. Then come back to the present, enter it for judging, and see how many items are "wrong". Bet it would be a lot of fun.

Ford built his manufacturing complex on the Rouge River. The V-8 Club named the award for original cars for that factory.

My 39 De Luxe is very close to original but it just doesn't make sense for it to be 100% since it gets driven a lot. The battery is a cost effective, high capacity battery intended for a tractor. The original water temp gauge is there but doesn't work so an aftermarket gauge is hidden down under the dash. Plus some other little things here and there that add up to making making the car very drivable. It wouldn't do will under scrutiny of a judge but it's beautiful and driven far and often. There is even a booster seat buckled in the back so my young son can come on drives in our "cool black car" -I know I have an old car, that's where my knowledge ends, Lance

I agree that yours is worse than mine inside. Mine sat in a garage from 1972 til 1998. The interior is pretty good, the only hole is in the headliner where a mouse sat on the left sun visor and chewed a small hole to get in to make a nest, plus I did redo the seats, The exterior is what looks the worst, having coons and squirrels running all over it while in the garage, along with moisture. It's pretty rusty, but being bronze in color, the rust doesn't show as bad.
Shiny side up! Cecil/WV
