I disagree. First off, if everybody is saving the newer stuff it will be less collectible because it is too plentiful. Secondly, we live in a throw away world today. Even today's cars will NEVER have the investment potential that 60's musclecars have today. The same follows suit with today's petroliana. Case in point. Say you go out and buy a 2004 Mustang GT convt. and spend $33,000 for the priveledge and put it away with less than 20 miles on the clock. 15 years or so go by. You bring the car out to auction it off at Newport Beach and the car MIGHT fetch 10 or 12 grand IF your lucky. That was sure a good investment, wasn't it? I was at Jim Perkin's shop in Wisconsin (Mustang restorer-expert) several years ago and this exact thing had happened with an '86 GT Mustang. Today's cars are throw away. So are today's petroliana. We all adore this stuff BECAUSE it takes us back to a simpler time in life that we remember. Who wants to remember today?? The new kids coming up now will be collecting Play Stations and video games because THAT is what will take them back to their youth. They are not into cars and petroliana like we are. That is what they will collect. Not plastic oil bottles.
