Well I don't say this about the NYT too often, but I think the article was
fair. They were very clear that they were only talking about investment
value.

I'm in the part of the hobby that would just as soon have the
cocaine-and-helicopter boys scared off. For "us as swink," having a car for
20 years and seeing that it's worth more than we paid for it is a real
thrill.

Sure, you'd like the Auburn crowd there when you're selling. But most of us
only sell to buy another one.

I'm no longer into performance cars, just those that get seen.
As I say when people ask me, "For years I drove Toyotas which
were just great as trans[ortation. No one ever came up and told
me about a Toyota their Uncle had, but you would be surprised at
how many uncles had Studebakers."

That's why I have one for my "Daily Driver"

I was offered a Caddy like the one in the picture, only brown, just
yesterday. I declined even before I heard a price. The fellow that
has it thinks its worth a lot, but there is way too much work to be
done on it before it is worth anything close to "a lot."
