Wow that sucks. Wanting to enjoy something like that so much and then having it turn into a tragedy. I guess on the one hand it does show how unsafe the old cars were. I've always thought a Phaeton would be cool to have. http://www.hubcapcafe.com/ocs/pages01/dues2902.htm
It reminds me of the fatalities every year of people going to the EAA AirVenture air show. This year three guys were flying up together in their respective p-51s and one crashed, killing the pilot. Can you imagine? These guys have been caring for these old planes for ages and the one event they've looked forward to all year becomes a disaster. Sometimes it's a shitty world.
