How does one approach the restoration of such a car? Little is left, but what is left tells of gracious, even beautiful original fabric. How do we preserve this fabric and also provide the public with an understanding of what the car as a whole was like? Do we accomplish the first by stabilizing what is left and the second by creating a replica? I struggle with this and wonder how others approach the problem.
