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?
