Pam, if ( and I do mean if) we meet in 2099 I will be riding in the big black 1956 Cadillac Hearse (like the one I drove around the Bay Area in 1969). Watch for me. By the way, I attended the very first heshey  meet with my Father. I remember it well.

You are spot on, Bert. These big, beautiful Classics, with a capital " C ", values have been sliding. The people who coveted these icons of the '20s and '30s are aging out. Many are selling their collections and new buyers are putting their money into the elusive dream cars of their youth. Note the values of a good C2 Corvette. Alas, even with the " bargain " prices they are still out of reach of my bank account, too. May be we will meet up at Amelia Island, 2099 in our funky old cars of a far, bygone era ..... Capturing these fine cars and sharing is as close as I can get. It is a wonderful way we can be a part of the hobby.  Thanks for watching and commenting, Bert.  Have a Happy and Healthy 2026.

That car was 200K in the 80’s. Nobody wants them anymore. Sad. I would have bought that car in another lifetime. Maybe in my next life. Thanks for sharing Pam.

That tells you something about the collector market. Not every year of a popular model becomes a true collectible. Buyers pick favorites, and those years get saved, restored, and passed down, while the years next to them…

The Insurance Total-Loss Process by Mike Thies

The Insurance Total-Loss Process

By Mike Thies 

A total-loss declaration is a math problem first and a negotiation second. If you understand how the insurer reaches its number, you can tell whether that number is fair, and what to do if it is not.

This guide is general information, not an appraisal of any specific vehicle. For a valuation you can rely on, request an…
