Re: Brass Step Plates
Brass step plates, Ford script on radiator core( especially cast) natural wood wheels, in the eyes of a purist is just plain wrong. To each his own, restoration is not understood by most people.(Restoration and customizeing are two different things) 1909 - 10 did have stamped radiator scripts on core.
