I guess I'm now in on the FW 221 craze. I didn't even know about them until a couple of weeks ago. I've been watching on ebay but prices are going higher as the craze continues. I've seen 2 original 1930's models go for over $800, not even restored. This one is amazing! I'd love to have one like it but I wouldn't have the heart to sew on it. I'd be just sick when it got it's first scratch. I have been looking at the painted ones. Looks like it's cheaper to just order one of theirs rather than try to find one and send it to be completely restored and painted. I can't decide on a color. Mulsanne blue (1970's corvette color???) Decisioins! Decisions! They're all beautiful!
