Since there were so many FW's made you can take the 1948 one and redo it and make it more valuable. I would just preserve what you have with the centennial.
I am not real hip on the FWs' but I am looking at a 1939 San Fransisco Expo edition FW on eBay right now. I would like to have it of a Texas State Fair FW.

I looked at that San Fransisco Expo one and that's definitely way out of my price range. I will enjoy that one in my dreams. Being a transplanted Texan I'd love one of the Texas State Fair also. Haven't seen one. Didn't know they were out there. And I bet they'd be a small fortune as well.
