When I was looking for a 1933/34 car I found a 33 that was totally modernized.
Wide tires, new suspension, much newer motor, auto transmission. The salesman said this car is better than an original because you can drive it anywhere...
I didn't really understand...because I wanted an original..
I am happy with what I finally got and original, but now I understand..
I am not expert, and my car is not rebuilt.. but these original early thirties cars are not really for interstate hiway driving. I guess you need all the new suspensions,trans, motors, wide tires if you want a car that acts like a modern car.
Don't get me wrong..I love the original car..Love what it represents..
I love driving it.. Now that I am retired and only drive around town it is perfect for me.
