Hi everyone,
I purchased my 04 XF last summer because I wanted a car that you just didn't see everyday. A car to enjoy and take to local cruise nights. A car that isn't a late model Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger. I have owned a 57 Tbird, 55 Ford Crown Victoria, many early Mustangs, and a 68 Shelby GT500 over the years. I can't perform total restorations anymore but I still enjoy owning an antique or collector car. What I see in the old car hobby is a lack of young people interested in antique and collector cars. Cars from the 1930s and 1940s that are not street rods have all gone down in value. I expect to see 1950s car values start going down soon. As we all get older there just isn't as many people who really care about old cars. I expect that most Crossfire owners are 55 years old and older. I hope that the antique and collector car hobby continues and that old car values start to rise. As for now, enjoy your Crossfire for what it is and don't worry about making money if and when you decide to sell it. I enjoy getting behind the wheel of my Crossfire and taking it for a drive. I think we all do.
