I agree Frank, magazines were not the "end all" for how people became aware of, or interested in these cars...there was obviously "word of mouth" and the "copy cat" thing you mentioned, where one person saw what someone else bought, and wanted one of their own... that still happens today for that matter... but i DO think magazines did play a HUGE role in how car guys got their info about who was building what, how much, and where to get one... i think the magazines of yesterday held nearly as much reponsibility for "spreading the word" as the internet (and this website!) does today. I also agree with Whitetop that today's "instant collectible" cars will not see such a tremendous increase in value in the years to come as the 60s era supercar have...for many of the reasons he mentioned, but thats a different topic all together! Say...weren't we talking about whitewalls? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img][img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
