FAKE W-31@Mecum
 
This is absolutely hilarious.
You bid 100k on a car and dont do basic research on what a w-31 is?

Fake because they were not available with a/c? :confused:

How does a car become a AACA grand national champion if it is fake. Or was that misrepresentation also. Please explain how it was determined it was fake and what in fact is fake. Inquiring minds want to know, it was a decent looking car.

I just did basic research on the W-31 and nothing's jumping out as wrong to me.

EDIT: I stand corrected.

Ouch my head hurts!!!

No W31 was built with AC, it’s one of the first tip offs.

Probably added during the restoration or just wasn’t a 31 car to begin with.

The announcers made mention of it being a W31 car with air. Like that was rare. lol

no ac and no power brakes with w-31 package
to change over to a/c would require a whole new firewall & vent system
would litearlly need to remove body from frame to make it work

this looks like a blue 4sp cutlass that sold on ebay back in 2012

It’s rare alright. One of none.:dunno:

I guess this shows us what an AACA certification is worth. I have always felt that AACA certifications are more about how many times you present the car at their show than it is about the correctness of a car.
