Our personal "full field favorite" was without a shadow of doubt the 1913 Regal Underslung . A 96 (!) years old car as low, as sporty and modern looking as this one, set all our senses on WoW! Our approach would be: take away the chrome, add nickle or at least don't polish the underlying brass. Add a few pounds of grease and TLC, but not a drop of paint and you'll have the smartest looking pre-WWI on the road. Check ! Our congratulations to the new owner!
