Just my two cents. I have no problem with hot rods or the most pure A that can be built. This is a hobby, we each have a vision of what we want for ourselves in our car. Whether it be a trailer queen that goes to fine point or to a Vegas drag strip or one that takes us on a grocery run. ALL are beautiful cars when done properly. The most sacrilegious thing that can be done to a car is let it rot, that only being trumped by tearing into it first/unskilfully hack-mod it. I would hazard to guess over 90% of the A's are rodded in some fashion. Whether it be small blocks, or a high compression head. At least the ones that are on the road are being enjoyed by someone. Rodders are not destroyers, they just have a different vision. The deeper issue is that the ol timers are seeing what they preserved for the next generation being, in their eyes, destroyed.

Looking for the front bumper emblem that has "Ford, Made In Canada"
