[Roadsters] OT- 54 Packard convertible

[Vince Strazzabosco]

My thinking is that quality, professional body and paint work isn't cheap or
always easy to get.  Moreover, a nice convertible like this would certainly
sell for more and probably be a much easier sale if the body and paint is
nicely done.

The same would of course, apply to a fine convertible like a
Datsun Roadster.  He may be willing to pay more in labor and materials than
the car would bring if soild otherwise.  But you already know this...

The
question is, how much is one of your roadsters worth to you?
