BAT-crazy prices and a 29 phaeton

If you buy a brass car then complain because it breaks down and gets flat tires, you do not have the right mind set.

1928 coupe sold on June 3 for $33,500. Restored to original but nothing special.

Regarding buying a car to cruise at 70 mph: The best way to see the country is at a slow pace on the back roads. With some exceptions, all the interstates look the same. Being in a hurry "to get there" is not where it is at. I did recent trip in my Model A to a club meet, 120 miles each way. I had to rush down to arrive in time and took the interstate but on the way home took the back roads at 35 to 50 mph. The trip home was much more enjoyable and relaxing.

You may be right but since Brass-era is a passion of mine (-I own 4 brass-era cars) I have tended to follow for the past 25-30 years, and based on what I have witnessed over those years including this year, it is my view that quality brass cars are still holding their own in value.

With regard to "youngsters", surely you would agree that stock (-or nearly stock) restored Model-As along with HCCA eligible cars have typically never been a young enthusiast's choice of collector car. Granted there are exceptions but as a whole, I have noticed that restored Model-As, Ts, & pre-16 cars have always attracted more mature car people.
