LB has established a reputation over the decades as being "the standard". Since very few folks ever research their own vehicles thoroughly they simply assume what LB offers is correct. Unfortunately this is not so for MANY models. They do not have correct materials for '28-29 commercial OR '28-29 open models. In fact they supply black artificial leather for '29 open models when the original was gray. NOT EVEN CLOSE! They offer NO colonial grain. Additionally the seats for all these models are patterned significantly different (incorrect) than the originals.

I have no personal experience with Classtique (or even seen one) so I can't address the comparison. However it's worth noting it's not difficult to vastly improve LB's version for the models mentioned.
