In a way, it's "history."

Someone wanted a town car so bad they were willing to put the time & effort into a "creation." May or may not have known the differences. But they made it "their car."

Good for showing at a car show without explanation other than "Not a commonly seen Ford since by the time of this car the Depression was in full tilt - and those who could afford a livery driver could afford better. "

And yes, given its origins it was NOT commonly seen. No lies.

And, it opens a line of discussion. Discussion is ALWAYS a good thing.

The avatar (see above Left) has variously had a water pump from a Baldwin Gleaner. There is one of these pumps currently for sale on Ebay for about 3x what it will cost you to buy a Ford pump for rebuild. I have left mine on the car at times so people could tell me "THATS NOT THE PUMP THAT SHOULD BE THERE."

My reply - "It works, that qualifies it."

My standards are low - and I enjoy them. Whatever turns you on.
