[QUOTE=BRENT in 10-uh-C;1179959]Which do you feel would be better, ...a new Brookville body --or a professionally restored roadster body that is in final primer?

Which is more valuable, --and why?

No question in my mind, full restoration or period Hot Rod, the Henry built body has the value, it IS a Model A Body. I really don't think it is an opinion that can get changed. Bob

Bob, I agree however I am not sure if the hobbyists are willing to pay the difference. Most people really have no first-hand experience with what is involved in prepping a new body for straight paintwork.
