This paragraph certainly gets directly to the issue we are dealing with. We are to promote the AUTHENTIC restoration of Plymouths and Fargo vehicles. That means we need to judge these cars against a standard of a factory shipped car. Original Plymouths did not come from the factory with modern modifications.
