My Dad had a blower Bently just after WW2........Complaints from Bank manager prompted him to sell it.......would be worth about $2,000,000 today........
I joked he should have put a couple of Spitfires in the farms barns.........

My first car was a 1947 split window bug that I got in high school and it had the 26HP motor. When I rebuilt the motor after blowing it up I got the last 4 pistons and rings that were in the US from a VW warehouse in CA. In the late 60 before I got out of the service I bought a 23 window Kombi van with no engine with the sunroof. The big deal at the time was putting a Corvair 110 engine with the Crown trans and starter adapters. Drove it back from FL when I left the Air Force and for about another year before I sold it to buy by a red Chevelle with a 327/4sp. I guess that I owned both a can only image what they would be worth in todays world.
