Hi, We have a niece whose husband and father-in-law collect and restore cars. They are farmers and have lots of large buildings, including a shop you wouldn't believe. The cars are generally in very good shape and just need a little work to make them show. They have quonsets full of them...mid sixties Imp*alas, Caprices, and GTOs. The father-in-law likes early 50s, too. They do the work themselves, except paint. These cars are their investment. If they don't appreciate in value at least, I believe its at least 4% or more per year, they get rid of them and look for a model that will. I think old cars are getting to be a better investment all the time, depending on make and model. Financial Planning sounds like a neat idea.:-) Personally, we are impulse buyers around our house. Nothing worse than the smell of musty, moldy old cash when you open your wallet. Maybe that's why I never seem to have the money to make the Mighty USS Imperial look presentable. But a fresh greenback is a wonderful thing!
