I feel compelled to respond to the less than positive comments on that amazing Packard and other one of a kind great car finds. Not too many cars out there as good as a custom 8 Packard. Not every car warrants a body off, ground up pebble beach restoration. Assuming that the doors are not falling off and the wood is stable, any car guy dad could enjoy fixing up that great car with his kids and proudly driving it around with them and his bride. It would be the talk of every town. In my opinion the question is whether one considers an antique car as investment or an avocation. Is there value to a golf club membership? What is the ROI on that expense? How about the ROI of professional sport's attendance? How about ROI of European vacations or cruises? Not everything makes sense from an ROI perspective. However one difference is, should one spend a dollar on fixing that car, one still has the car whereas the meal plan of a golf club membership is, well, down the drain.
