Wood Strips/Long Term Value
Hey, Halifax - good to know there's an SSR at the other end of the country. We're talking about taking another road trip with our SSR next fall - want to do the Maritimes and north east US this time. I don't plan to store mine for 20 years hoping it goes up in price - having way too much fun.
I'm attaching photos of a couple of SSRs from the SEMA show with real live genuine wood strips in the cargo area - hope it inspires you. I think it would look awesome, adding to the retro concept. Personally, I'll keep the genuine imitation plastic wood and carpeted trunk and lid. Easy to clean, looks good. If I can land another set of strips at a reasonable cost, I'll repaint them to have a yellow set as well .
Re: long term value.
How many of us would give our teeth and limbs to own a 54 or 55 Corvette. I was looking through a Corvette book tonight while my wife was doing some browsing at the mall.
Interesting quote: "Of the total production of 3460 units in 1954, over 1/3 remained unsold at the end of the model year, prompting GM to cut production to 700 Corvettes in 1955"
