[VAC] Airstream Roadshow '48 Weewind



Remember when that guy brought a Chippledale highboy
in for an  Antique Roadshow TV show appraisal. The
piece was worth $175,000. However, since the guy had
"cleaned it up and refinished it"  it was only worth
$15,000.  To get a collector price for an  Airstream
you need to have it in near original condition.  The
'48 Wee Wind on E-bay would have brought more money in
"as-is" original condition. 
A collector would not even consider an item so
extensively altered.
