Just found this old copy of the Gold Book on antique auto values from about 15 years ago. Thought some might be interested to see the value of our cars back then. Sorry for the way I copied the pages in the wrong order.
Nice to see my Roadster up near the top of the values.

1997 seems like last week. Guess it's true that time flies when you are having fun. I have a couple Hemmings from 1961. Now those prices will make you cry and want a time machine to go back and stock up.

Friend gave me a big stack of restorer & model A news from mid to late 90's many of the prices seem to be only a little less then what things are selling for today. Defiantly better then keeping your money in the bank and a lot more fun.
One item I would like to see sold again is there was a loose leaf copy of the service bulletins similar to the original set for sale..

I paid $400 for my car, at the time a Tudor, in 2010.

I bought a 1930 Murray Town Sedan in 1960 that had 1936 license plates on it. I got it for $30.00!
