what to say to nit pickers at car shows

Friend of mine has a Cougar, 1967, 390 GT 4 speed. This is one of those honest "I came home from Nam with all my combat pay" stories.... He is the original owner has never used it as a normal driver....


The car is Red on Red, almost no miles, unmodified, un-restored, about the only thing not original to the car are the tires.

So here we have an original owner, super nice, low mile, un-restored car....

People at the ford shows still nit pick his car.... they tell him "this little piece of trim has a small scratch in it", "Oh... You have 3 lose stitches in the drivers seat", "Those cars didn't come like that".... All kinds of BS that = nothing....


He just pulls the original dealer paper work out of his glove box, shows them his name on it and tells them to "Go F@%& themselves".
