Default 36 Roadster $192,000

Does anybody know why the 1936 Ford Roadster sold by the Milhouse collection over the weekend is worth $192,500?

I might have guessed it was a typo as the lot above it has exactly the same price, but further down the page is a custom '51 Merc for $423,500 so maybe there were just a lot of guys there with lots of spare cash!

Okay, so what's the deal?

What is so great about this car that it costs as much as three Roadsters?

None of those prices made any sense to me at all. These are strange prices in strange times...

A 1933 Chrysler CL Phaeton for $1.2 million is off the charts!!! At the 2011 Pebble Beach RM Auction a similar 100 point Concourse 1933 CL Phaeton sold for $500,000.00. Maybe the guy publishing the list hit the "add" button twice.

Google RM Auctions, scroll around until you find the Milhouse auction, scroll some more till you find the cars. There are multiple photos of each along with "biographical" info.

A little of all the above is true. These auctions for "collectors", "investors", "aficionatos", not us old Ford slobs, Lol.
I'm thinkin' the ole boys that buy these babies don't have the same dirty fingernails as I do.

Interesting.... I just watched a show about the Milhouse collection on HD TV. I'm sure that helped in driving up the prices. Did they sell that player piano with the 3 violins?

That car is more beautiful than the day it left Henry's factory, or the showroom floor for that matter. Unbelievable....

Not sure on brand X tractors but on John Deeres I can think of MANY that brought well into six figures . A fellow in WI paid $325,000.00 for a 1936 John Deere BW40 . Many in the $175,000 range also . There are SERIOUS collectors of John Deeres out there .

I have a genuine left hand thread quabble plate bearing for an early Ford powered onion roaster I will let go for only $125k. I will throw in a couple of restored pickups and a streetrod to haul it around in.
