2015 RM Sotheby's Auction Preview: A Few More

Thanks for the great pictures. I must admit seeing these beautiful classics makes me sad as the interest in these cars is becoming less and less as the people who love these cars are dying off. Sad to say, young people are more interested in their phones than these rolling works of art. Shown in 2015, my guess these cars have depreciated at least 30% in the last 11 years.

Yes, it is sad to see the changes in the Collector Car arena. Fewer young people at the shows, although I remained encouraged by the few, I do see.

Those of us who appreciate these fine classics are diminishing every day...soon there will be none.

Yes, what a shame. The pride that went in to designing, developing, and building these fine automobiles is a somewhat lost art with all the CAD available now. Don’t get me wrong though, I appreciate current fine automobiles too but, IMO, it shouldn’t be about how fast will it go, how low can we build it, how many features can we task to a screen and etc, etc, etc. I just think that a number of “prestige” brands are “fugly”. I’d rather have a mid-sixties styled RR than a current one. Same with Bentleys. But, in my book, there aren’t many 30s-40s cars that beat Packards, Cadillacs, Dusenbergs and others. Perhaps my love of older cars is what keeps me from fading away too.
