In 1963 I was in and out of the house as I was working around the states. My old 56 chev 210 coupe was giving me trouble and I bought a old 1951 dodge business coupe from a uncle for $65s to get around while I was scounting for my next car. I found a beautiful 1956 turqoise T-bird with both tops. They were asking I think, $1,400s. I beat him down to $1,200s, and made the mistake of having dad look at it before I committed.
Dad thought I needed more room as I traveled all over the country with my stuff. He talked me out of it. I then bought a 1961 olds dynamic 88 coupe for $1,700s drove it for two years and practicly gave it away!
I now belive the best retirement plan in the world would have been to buy a old barn or building and buy classic cars when they were cheap and just dust them off and sell them with NO tax factor when you get old. I remember a beautiful 40 ford coupe I could have bought from a friend for $200s in about 1960 and many similar deals.
I never was educated, talented or anything else but I will say that every gun, car, motorcycle or airplane that I desired years ago with time always seemed to be exactly the most sought after model of its type as time marched on.
