I don't know, it's kind of sad when a 70 Plymouth Cuda goes for three times the price of a '30s Packard. 🙁

That was $3M + a $240,000 buyer's fee. (Gulp)

*sigh*...

...We're kindred spirits, Doug. I agree wholeheartedly with you. But, I DO think there's a market for classics, I'd bet that DM's beautiful '32 Fleetwood Cad is doing well, and I can only hope they see fit to introduce more classics (maybe an update of the '34 LeBaron V12 Packard, a dashing Dietrich conv. Victoria, or maybe a LeBaron Sport Coupe, maybe a makeover of the RR PIII, with that beautiful Sautchik body?). Like the cars we admire, we're a quiet bunch. But that shouldn't be misinterpreted as uninvolved or unwilling to buy. Listening, DM?
