So I pull into the parking lot of a few of our customers(I call 'em industrial condos) and I see this four wheeled work of art.It's parked in front of a place called Billet Works.They do high end customizing and restorations.This car is the only one like it in existance(says the guy from BW),worth 1-2 million? I got close enough to take these pics....no closer According to the guy at BW this is an unrestored car.What do you guys think?

That is some real craftsmanship. The men and women who built cars of that era were true artists.

Damn perfect for an almost 90 year old car that hasn't been restored. I guess having money has it's benefits.

I wonder if the rear springs were wrapped like that from the factory?
