.... yes, interesting indeed.   Trust me, I know firsthand - not ALL collector cars increase in value; some can drop like rocks off a cliff. 😔 😔   Of course, on the flip side, it's always interesting, and occasionally quite surprising, to see just what IS increasing in value.  🙄 😯

Interesting article, John. I am not surprised at the increase in value for the Fiat and CR X Honda but was surprised that the Ford truck slipped so badly. They are very popular where I live currently. The Mercedes increase was a real shock.

Interesting article John.  Thanks for sharing.  I've always been fascinated at what cars seemingly are collectible, while others, for whatever reasons don't make the grade.  For me, if I were in the market, the later 40s and early 50s Hudson's are always desirable.  So are Mercury's from 1949 to 1955. 

And of course, any Oldsmobile from 1949 to 1963 (with the exception of the '60 and '61) would be "must haves" for me. 

Then there are few "lonesome doves" out there that always tickle my fancy.  The '54 and '59 Buick are two of them.  A few others are the '57 Chrysler 300, the '60 Chrysler, the '59 Mercury, and the '56 Cadillac.  After this, though I enjoying seeing all old cars, none grab me like those I've listed above.

John, thanks for sharing.  Since I have no skin in the game I don't care which cars value increased or decreased. From the vehicles listed, the only one that interests me is the Ford pick-up. Yes, I'm a Dinosaur and I know it.  Smile
