Modified 1939 American Bantam Roadster

The IMS Museum has deaccessioned this Modified 1939 American Bantam Roadster as it no longer fits the Museum’s mission. The vehicle is offered on BringATrailer.com
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum is one of the world's premier destinations dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of motorsports competition and motor vehicles, with emphasis on the history of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race.

Nice! But why are the hubcaps so dented? Would it take away any of the authenticity if some of the dents, at least, were totally removed and some were made smaller? If you absolutely had to keep with that sympathetic restoration trend? Or why not just remove all the dents?
I really don't know why they're left like that.

Does it have the stock engine, or was something larger installed in it?
