Harrell Camaro

I agree with Ratpack. I was at a Street Rod Nationals show last year and there was a original '50's flathead powered 1932 Ford Roadster that was in storage since the late '50's. The paint was cracked/dull, interior was coming apart and the chrome was dull and hazy. The car was not as nearly as perfect as cars built today. The welds were not great, detail was just not there. This was how most of the cars were built back then. However that being said, the car had a huge crowd around it all day. There were other '50's style hot rods(recently built cars to look like they were from the era) there but were not getting as much attention as this one. You saw a look on peoples faces when they saw the car you do not see often. People like to see something that is original as it was. I think some "patina" adds character as long as it is not excessive.
I would clean up the Camaro and put the wide slots/tires back on it. Of course I'm biased towards Day 2 cars but I have to say what I saw with the '32.
