My last show car, a 1961 Cadillac Coupe Deville small roof, I had over
$50,000.00 including original purchase price. Worked on it over 2 years,
kept it for over 10. Drove it to Hot August Nites in Reno several times.
Many time trophy winner. Sold it when Mary got sick and needed money for
hospital bills. $18,000.00 Cash. Yeah, they are great investments. Shelter
a lot of income. But, what is the price on good times and memories these
days? Good times have no price tag. Invaluable, I would say.
