True story... in 1971 my newlywed wife and I were at a car show in downtown Cleveland Ohio. A guy had a 1957 red Gullwing Mercedes that was all original, including the matched set of tan luggage.

On the car was a "For Sale" sign, so I asked him the price. he said he would take $6000 for it. Now a newer used car was going for about $3000, so that price seemed high, but not unreasonable at the time.

If I had a crystal ball I would have bought that car in a heart beat....but who could have predicted what it would be worth in 40 years? Wonder what a Crossfire will be worth in 40 years
