Brookville Roadster more valuable?

My A truck is like Brent says.My uncle gave it to me when I was 12.It is on it's third body,second frame,but it still has the engine,trans,and horn that I got it with,so it is still the Model A my uncle gave me.
 
I agree with Steve on Keith's story... I have a pile of '36 Ford PU parts that were off of Pop's truck when he owned it, unfortunately in the 60's a cousin chopped it in two and made a farm trailer out of the bed assy. for his farm operations, and the front part was robbed of the LH door, hood, and grille and the drivetrain's gone now, BUT it is still 'Pop's '36' and I cherish what's left of it;);)
 
The story of "Grandpa's Axe."
I've replaced the handle three times and the head twice - but it's still Grandpa's Axe!

The USS Constitution continues as the nation's oldest Commissioned Warship. The ship - made of wood clad in copper - has been replaced piecemeal ad-infinitum since the beginning and is now estimated to be less than 10 percent original wood in the ship.

So since most cells in your body have been replaced, are you still original?




If you have had an organ/knee/hip/etc. replaced, are you still considered original?

Brent you would have a real good handle on the market. Maybe I have been spending too much time with my CCCA budies but while everything you say makes perfect sense for 99% of the As out there I was kind of thinking of the fine point cars. Not an issue for me as our cars are drivers.

Leaning more to a non authentic Ford maroon for my car which is at no risk of earning a fine point award!! ��

A side note to consider is that people own something for many reasons. Often times a specific reason why someone owns something seems dumb to someone else. For example, most of the time I find that a Fine-Point vehicle is restored solely for the challenge of the restoration. It is the 'backstory' that includes the research for establishing what is authentic or correct, -the quest for finding the correct item, -mastering the process of making something function and look esthetically correct just as it did back on a certain date, ...and to see how far they can push their skill set during the project. To other hobbyists, this challenge is greater than they desire, so it does not seem like fun or desirable. I always tell my customers to choose the way that will make YOU the most happy, and to you will be correct. I'm sure whichever shade of Maroon you choose will be perfect!! ;)
