What is 'rare'?

[Rogillio]

I have been watching CL and eBay for about a year and a half looking for other 1926 DB 2-door coupes and I finally found another one and bought it.  I started trying to find one for parts but the one I found is  actually in better condition than the one I have mostly restored so now I am restoring 2.

 

I got to wondering if there were any numbers available indicating just how 'rare' a vechile is.  Presumably DB Club has some records about members' vehicles and that would give some indication of how many of a particular model and year that members own.  But I'm sure there are 2x or maybe 20x that many out there is someone's barn or back yard or shop that no one knows about.  I wonder if Early Myers Dodge has numbers based on the number of customers they have asking for common parts?

 

I guess it really don't matter....I like to think my '26 coupe is relatively rare....certainly rare than a comparable Ford.  I figure every year that goes by my car becomes more and more rare as people chop them up for rat rods or for parts.  I so one like mine for sale at a big estate sale in FL for like $27k....I guess if I had unlimited time and money I could have mine professionally frame-off restored....but that's just not me.  I like mine looking like I just drove down off of Walton's Mountian not drove out of a museum.
