when I lived in the Mojave a few years ago, I often saw 50's cars out driving around...not because people wanted to drive classics...but these were the cars they had.

After dabbling with 60's British cars, tons of Porsches, Italian stuff (including my Ferrari)....I have developed a soft spot for brass-era cars. The ability to replicate any part on them...because they were originally hand made is very intriguing to me. The performance aspect of cars is largely lost on me at this point...I've reached a point where aesthetics reigns supreme.

As for pricing on classics...it's all cyclical. Look at what Model A's cost now, compared to 20-30 years ago. The guys who loved these cars are all dead.
