I read that "My Turn" Yesterday. From the tone of the article and the
description of the car, it sounds like it is an unrestored one as well. I
thought the article was well written and very enjoyable. And I tend to
agree with the thought behind it. I know whan I go to a show, you can
generally tell if a car should not be approached with out the sign,
usually the owner is standing over it polishing the bottom of the most
hidden piece of chrome on the car, like the underside of the dashpot
cover ;-).
What I mean is I show a bit of reverence towards cars that are obviously
lovingly restored and do not approach them with my scarf on.
