Advent Horizon posted:Same with any clothing made out of the flag. "Most people" don't get away with it, they simply have no idea about the actual true and real rules from both a legal sense and their supposed moral sense. Ever see some old boomer flying a tattered American flag? Same deal, they are desecrating the flag. I don't care personally because it's a flag so whatever, but much like Christianity or Catholicism you'd think the people screaming about how important it is would at least understand the basic principles surrounding what they are apparently die-hards about. They don't, they are actually posers.

I think flags on clothes aren’t against the flag code unless the clothes are made out of actual flags. The clothes still suck but you’re not breaching any code of conduct, just of taste.

So gentlemen, here's a challenge: what's the dumbest "ran/ran well when parked" U got? Here's mine: 1973 Dodge D-150 [Facebok bork price]  1973 dodge custom 300! Beautiful project for someone. Pretty sure it has a 318, it's a 4 speed dually. It had a wooden deck back in her day, as u can see the chassie is in great shape no holes just surface rust. The cab in in great shape but will need a floor. Don't seem to be seized at all. Was parked in a shed 25 years ago and left. Paper work come with it. Worked perfectly when parked. Open to all and any offers, but NOT giving it away. Also comes with another bumper.

Was parked in a shed. Remains of shed visible. Also, 318 and a four speed means that thing has a slant six and a three on the tree.

I mean I get it if you need a car you don't really have a choice but gently caress the rest. I was thinking about getting a Miata but I'm gonna wait until it all comes down because there's no way this can continue forever, the bubble is gonna burst eventually and I'l be able to get a decent Miata for $3-4k again.

Need? Cryco finances to anybody or anything. This is purely survivor syndrome being driven by people flush with cash and nowhere to stick it. What's better than holing money into a project car since a vacation in Europe is off the table? Prices may cool some though desirable cars like the NA on the cheap are out the window. Its happening to a fair bit of the 80s-90s era of cars, not just the MIata alone. They're classics now. Same thing happened to the late 50s and 60s cars that riveted the outgoing generation in their youth. Prices may fluctuate here and there like that particular era has in years past during recessions, but lol there is no $3-4k 67' camaro, cudas, chargers, mustangs, 58' vettes, or 57' bel-airs. In short: KakerMix posted:This will never happen. This.

Pre-war rolls and packards and such were cheaper than a new chevy in the late 60s, apart from the one-offs. The idea of a "classic car" wasn't quite a widespread thing yet. The first 5 years of the Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance were 1-2 years old at the time. in 1968, a 1964 Maserati won best in show. American Graffiti is set in 1962, and the star car is a 32 ford, something a teenager could afford. These days that would go for $50k - $100k On the subject of Maseratis. This guy is down from like $60k a week or two ago. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/calgary/1973-maserati-indy-stalled-restoration/1562581755  Already got the doors off, so the resto is half done.

It absolutely was. Even back in the 60s Dusenbergs and other stuff like the Mercer Raceabout were hitting five figures. Jay Leno mentions in his video on the Mercer that one of those even set the highest auction price ever for a car at $45000, in the mid-60s. $45,000 is roughly $378,395 in today's money. Between the first five years of Pebble Beach and the 1968 date you point out, none of the cars that won best in show were newer than 1940, with the oldest being a 1913 Rolls Royce And the only reason '32 Fords have gotten expensive is because so many of them were chopped up and made into hot rods and even now there still is such a cultural cachet around 'traditional hot rods' that people still want to make them. If that hot rod craze had never happened and they were just some old pre-war car, then they'd still be cheap.

I think this is generally true; while I wouldn't expect prices to necessarily crater, I think that demand will be drastically reduced and there will be a vanishingly small group of buyers left willing to pay top dollar for them. Alternatively, collecting mid-century American muscle could become a craze among the well-off in China and prices could go even higher

If that hot rod craze had never happened and they were just some old pre-war car, then they'd still be cheap. It seems to me that prices on pre-war hit rod stuff has started to plateau a bit. It can still be (very) expensive, but most of the people who had strong emotional connections to that era are dead now, or not driving. Also taking a brief look on the internet, tri-five Chevrolets seem to have cratered as well. Still expensive, but not the $15k for a rolling chassis and bare body that they were ten years ago.
