Re: Drive or restore
I bought my tudor in 1975 and gave it a paint job and a better motor, and just drove it for many years, fixing things as needed. About 6 years ago I took it all apart, restored the chassis completely, had the original motor rebuilt, fixed body rust and fenders, and painted it with quality paint and installed a Lebaron Bonney interior. It is a nice car, and occasionally gets a trophy if I stay long enough at a show, but I drive it. It has never been on a trailer in all those years, and I have enjoyed the car as a driver. It is not a piece of crap, as some describe drivers, but it is not a show car, babied in an enclosed trailer to gather trophies. I enjoy an evening drive around this big town with lots of country roads, to wind down after a day of work.
