Long story, but.. a friend who was a National Judge for old flathead Fords, bought a 40 Woodie which had been totally painted green - metal, wood- everything. When he stripped off the green paint, it was apparent that the car was a "Birdseye car - all the maple frames were birdseye maple - cars built for Mr Ford or highly regarded plant managers. He restored the car to National standards, it won all the prizes, he sold it, and and ultimately it sold for something in the range of $380K - more than any woodie ever.
