Well its nice to know that someone else has a pair of rose colored glasses 
in case I should misplace mine;)

I  was wearing them when I bought my 67 Crown Coupe seven years ago. Though 
I didn't get burned too bad on the purchase the end result is a car that has 
not seen the road in three plus years .
The best advice I could give someone looking at an old car is take someone 
with you!
They will most always look at the car more realistically than you can.
