Default Re: Interesting USA today article for investors

Pete's got a point there. I've been waiting for 12 cylinder Packard prices to fall down to my level for a while now, and they've kept steady. Why? Aside from the fact that they're awesome, a steady stream of younger collectors have been "reaching back" after getting bored with the exotics/musclecars/50's iron they've been collecting. Not all of them, by any means, but enough to take care of the limited supply of cars put in circulation by declining older owners. I think the same will hold true for the Shelbys, Hemis, and Yenkos of the world. A percentage of the young Honda-tuners will open their hearts & wallets and carry the torch.

Now as for the 1928 Maxwells and 1968 Caprices of the world..they do appear to be one the road to obscurity and neglect. But they are dirt cheap for those who find joy in them!
