This was my first year of attending and my main interest was the N96 display but I must say there were amazing cars from every manufacture represented.

This year they have a good display of Studebakers  while they are not a car that I  have an interest in I have great respect for the owners who have restored these cars because it must be so difficult to restore one of these cars because of the lack of reproduction parts..

:iagree:  My brother and I have been working on our dad's 63 R2 Avanti, and it is definitely a different world regarding repo. parts compared to Mopars.  Although, Ford and Chevy still have it better.  :alan2cents:

The only way I could think this would be accurate is if it was some type of pre-production car.   :notsure:

I was referring to an article in MCG about the car, I thought MCG got it wrong until I also got an email from the owner stating the same thing....I find it hard to believe.  :huh:

Alan, even if he bought the car new which I doubt I would have a hard time believing Chrysler made a white hood treatment.... Maybe the dealer but not Chrysler.... And custom vinyl was allot harder to accomplish back in 1970 than it is these days.... Which means that white hood treatment probably first got applied in the 80's...

I agree, 100%. The same guy sold the FE5 sunroof 70 Challenger to my customer and was mad when I didn't paint the tail panel black, again because he insisted it was black from the factory, not having owned either car from new. :dunno:
