Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Thread Like Summary - Would you pay $18500?

This got posted at the Hudson forum. Add said " message for price"
First reply said $20000 , then 10 minutes later , $18,500.
I think ebay would determine value , but I don't see anyone paying $18500
What's your opinion.

It's 16 feet x 3 feet , cloth with lacquer.

If I was into Hudson Terraplane and wanted to blow 20k think I'd buy this.... or maybe a full size car.
