Money in old cars proves a solid investment
In an inflationary era and weak stock market, antique car buffs, including Armco Car Enthusiasts Club founder Dave Clendenin, see old autos as valuable. He recalls a 1936 Cord bought for 2,500 in 1968 and sold for 6,000 recently without any restoration. A Dayton show featured Dusenbergs selling for six figures, around 180,000 to 200,000, underscoring the potential steadiness of classic car values.
