Subject: IML: Financial advisors and classic cars
I read with interest the story of the "new" 1964 Imperial purchased against
the best recommendations of the owner's financial planner. I happen to be a
financial planner who grew up as the grandson of a Chrysler Plymouth
Imperial GMC dealer in a small town in western Maryland. I generally would
not advocate most folks buy a classic as an investment but when you have
motor oil in your veins instead of blood, you can't help buy own them. We
currently own a 1961 Chrysler 300 G coupe and a 1968 Chrysler 300
convertible (yes, no Imperials yet). I have been able to get some of my
best investment clients through local car clubs, etc as I have a common
interest with the members. Just act logically when acquiring cars and
attempt to reason with your financial advisor if he / she tries to talk you
out of buying that dream car.
