Did any of you see the interview with the Haggerty president's comments on the market and the future of the market? I found it interesting.

My interpretation of his comments:

The value of the 50's cars is flat or perhaps soft.
The 50's and 60's sports cars are still doing well.

The market is seeing millennials starting to get involved.
He mentioned increased interested the Supra, Miata and RX7 type cars as part of the next wave.

Catch it on the re-run of the auction on TV, too much to remember to get it right for you. All about the current market and the future of it.

I've watched some of the Barrett Jackson on an off. I was amazed to see 50's model restomods selling for a lot more than C2's in excellent condition. Made me rethink the value of my car when i saw junk selling for those prices. Some people on there have more money than brains.

Don't forget that those who had their money in the stock market last year made in the neighborhood of 30%. I'm sure that the net brainpower didn't increase than much, ( careful analysis shows mine decreased) so I must agree...
