I think the hotrod genre is an interesting subset, but the car really
doesn't belong with the original TD's.
There are a lot of British cars with powerplant swaps.....but they don't
need to be shown with the originals, either.
They can be shown separately.
And the above is one of the problems with "peoples' choice" voting at shows.
So, how about a '31 Duesenburg with a Dodge Viper V-10, power disc brakes
off the Caddy, power windows, locks, tilt wheel, electronic suspension, mags
and a tuck and roll interior. Is it a Duesy? Erm, maybe.....and maybe not.
Best,
Ray
