It seems that way when you watch the auction, but think about how
many cars you'd have to buy and store before you could guarantee that
one would hit it big so yo would not lose all your money. Back when
those cars were made, nobody on any given day could have said "this
it is, this is the one, there will never be a better one so I'm
buying this car to keep for an investment." Think about doing that
today. What would you buy? The choices seem dismal, to me anyway,
compared to those in the showroom in, say, the late sixties and early
seventies. Except for the really high-end cars that are always going
to be worth something to collectors because they were manufactured
for collectors, where would you put your money for a Barrett Jackson
payoff in 2047?
