Hi Larry,
This was a really nice message. I got interested in old vehicles restoring
my Great Grandmother's Buick.
Your comments made me wonder if one's orientation regarding original vs.
rodded has less to do with age, and more to do with whether one has a strong
sentimental attachment to memories of an original condition vehicle.
