    I had the roadster out yesterday, short drive after sorting out a couple little bugs and shot these photos in the drive. In black and white, looks pretty spot-on mid 50's. IMG_4188.JPG IMG_4189.JPG

    It looks like a perfect 50's picture, nothing out of place. Nice!

    A guy at AutoRama in Detroit. I have his business card, forgot his name. Does really nice work. He asked if he could have "...artistic license" to do it how he wanted, I said go for it. He also did some really nice work on the '36 when it was there. The new owners added a bunch more, too much IMHO, it looks kinda like a circus wagon. It's easy to overdo it...

    Brian,

    If I didn't know better I'd assume that pic was taken in '55. You're not THAT old are you?
