Re: Trying to choose a color???
My Dad restored this 29 Cabriolet in 65.The car was originally bought by a guy who worked on the assembly line in Detroit. My Dad was a stickler for original but I can't find any reference of Maroon or colored wheels for this car for 1929 so I'm thinking the guy on the assembly line ordered it the way he wanted or my Dad deviated a bit.He did meet the original owner after the car was restored but not sure if he spoke to him prior to restoration.I also included a couple of photos after my Dad purchased this car in 1962 from the second owner.Fairly rough shape but running.also a photo of the radiator eagle cap that has the head flip down to allow the wings to tip back.apparently this was an accessory back in the day but many got broken.I don't know why this isn't being reproduced . I think it sets off the car quite nicely.
