Sounds like someone who doesn't pay property taxes ;-)
Seriously though, if prices increase due to increased collectability due
to stunning examples turned out by the likes of CDM, cool! Great! But if
our cars become the flavor of the month for those who collect as an
investment, there goes the party. Maybe that's not likely since it's not
American iron or European snobmobiles.
If the old car market sees fit to raise the value of our roadsters fine,
but I don't know how we can increase the value of these cars
artificially. Isn't that price fixing?
my two cents
