What I found funny was that I went to a car show last Saturday and parked my 27 next to a row of about 5 or 6 very nice 29-32 Fords. Two were a very bright red, one was gloss black, another was copper colored, and one was a House of Colors purple. Super nice rods, all of them. I sat on my lawn chair and listened to the comments people were making as they looked at my satin black rod and so many of them said "Wow, I really like the color on this one!
" Some of them even came back and told me how much they liked my car and the satin finish on it..........said it looked like a hot rod to them.
Reason I post this is because so many "experts" look down their noses at any car not shiny, but I get more comments at traffic lights and at gas stops about my non shiny 27 than I ever got with my gloss black 23. I wouldn't paint this car shiny if someone offered me a free $ 10,000 paint job.
