Observation from people who collect other things - the things that become collectable are OFTEN (not always) what is NOT considered collectable at first. The collection of all 50 state quarters will NEVER be worth anything, b/c a million people (including my mom) are collecting them. Something common, like an SD, which is NOT a collectors car, if kept in great shape, just might be someday. NO ONE collects SD's.
Now the rub is initial cost a production #'s. A car that only has 1200 made - will be collectable even if it were a Yugo, probably. A million dollar car, will be a collectable. Anyway, just an observation. P.S. I drive the crap out of my SD, just like OK Don. Chris --- OK Don <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Which cars will be collectable?
