You can thank the mindless dribble of the 'American Picker's' type 'reality' shows for this.
That and the fake car 'restoration' shows have buried this hobby. Remember the song from the 60's show-----" They call him Flipper--Flipper- faster than light-ning, no one you see, is more shyster than he........"
May we rest in piece
(Hope it's NOS pieces!)
