Call me crazy! But it looks somehow Grotesque. I know gold and white make every thing look better, but it's grotesque! Sorry!

I'm sure it wasn't cheap to do all that, but it still looks tacky.

Looks like the one from Wake Forest NC. He wanted 50,000 a year ago. It looks to be a nice car, It also has some gold on the inside. but not for me I just do not like it.

I dunno....I sort of like it in a weird sort of way. Seems to have been nicely done. Sort of European-style like to me. I probably wouldn't take it to Hershey!

The car provides an answer to a question nobody dares to ask here.

What question, you wonder?
Well, you've asked for it, so here it is:

What would a Model A look like, that a wannabe Liberace impersonator would want to drive?

Probably costs a bundle to custom gold plate stuff like that. Ironically gold plating is put on so thin that the value of the actual gold is practically zero.

That car has been on Craigslist, Ebay, and local paper classifieds ever since I can remember being on Fordbarn. It never sells.

Should have brought it to Scottsdale... B-J would have sold it.
