I didn't really understand...because I wanted an original..
I am happy with what I finally got and original, but now I understand..
I am not expert, and my car is not rebuilt.. but these original early thirties cars are not really for interstate hiway driving. I guess you need all the new suspensions,trans, motors, wide tires if you want a car that acts like a modern car.
Don't get me wrong..I love the original car..Love what it represents..
I love driving it.. Now that I am retired and only drive around town it is perfect for me.

The whole point of driving old cars is that they have little in common with new cars. Sometimes it's just nice to have windows that have to be wound up and down by hand, to have rattles and squeaks, to have to concentrate on the steering and following distances, etc, etc.
