VCCA Home Forums Thread Like Summary - my survivor 57

I have a very nice 57 sport coupe it is a survivor car, has 62,000.00 miles
I am always concerned about what I can do to the car without altering its value as a survivor
it is a really nice car, and a real head turner

I drove it to high school in the 70s and have had it since without doing much but TLC

it does have a few cosmetic issues, original pain is pitted in areas, and a scrape on the back fender and the stainless is good but tarnished and some dings

I have always wanted to re-do the chrome, but I worry about decreasing its value

any suggestions on how to keep this car as a survivor and not harm the status of the car

There is an increasing number of old car enthusiasts and buyers that appreciate survivors. I have a few of them and they get as much attention as others when displayed. They are only original or preserved original once. When upgraded or refinished some significant history is destroyed.
