Default Re: 23 year old engineer invested in a 1931 Ford Model A instead of stocks. And WON!

Paul GREAT video loved it!! This guy is really uplifting he's a great fellow with a BEAUTIFUL Model A slant windshield LOVE the car! Loved his story

I've been around Model A's since 1971, and I heard all of the 'the hobby is dying' stuff way back in the 70's. There are always a gaggle of naysayers out there!

One key word I picked up on in the video was.... attitude.... that is all-important. In all endeavors of life.

I never look upon old cars as an 'investment' I just enjoy having them and tinkering on them. The investment angle is the wrong approach to me. If they go up in value yeah OK if they drop so be it I really don't care! My new Ford is going to drop $25,000 in value in about three years, and I don't care about that. It is the trade off for what I wanted from the vehicle.

And having an antique car is a lot more fun than staring at a piece of paper with a figure on it...............
