Looking at the auction results in Monterey, one takeaway I had is that the gap continues to increase in the pre-war market (especially for CCCA-type cars) between the market value of #1 and #3 cars. The market was generally soft for pre-war cars in driver condition, but people were continuing to pay top dollar for top restorations. If that's right, I assume this reflects fewer people buying pre-war cars to drive them and the ever-increasing costs of restorations. Happy news if you're looking to buy a driver, although not so happy if you're selling one. Anyway, curious if others who follow the market closely think that's right.

The owner of this Packard obviously didn’t get the memo that Trippe lights are verboten at Pebble.And white walls!
But notice which cars won class awards.

35Packard, is the maroon car in the photo yours?
No, that one is a '37, not a '35. And in orders of magnitude better cosmetic condition than mine....

@1935Packard, your photography is superb! I haven't seen color saturation like that since Kodachrome--what equipment are you using? I'm sure you had to wait 10 minutes to get each of the shots. Many thanks for your outstanding coverage!
Thanks, @Grimy. Just an iPhone, one of the recent ones.

I posted Delahaye photos in the Delahaye forum, but figured I could post them here too.

I may make it known often that I begin losing interest in collector cars after around the late 1920s? And I have commented several times that I much prefer the Duesenberg model "A" over anything in the "J" series! However, even I do appreciate significant landmark models of popular cars throughout automotive history. So, in spite of the fact I will likely never own any Porsche (although I am sure I would enjoy driving one if I had one?), mainly because I would never spend that much money for a car I don't really want? I do find that car interesting to look at and do appreciate its significance.
Thank you for posting those photos! Also thank you for posting the other semi-modern collector car (1930s!) photos from Pebble.
Being a Porsche fan, for me a Gmund coupe is a treat to see; about 30 are left of the 50 or so made. It's instantly recognizable as a Porsche, with several design elements that have stayed with the marque for almost 75 years. Really cool to see.

Don’t kno how many fans of early Porsches there are here, but I’ve never seen a Gmund coupe this close up (one of the first 50 or so of the make).

The market in pre-war cars

Total aside, but I thought this little Hispano-Suiza at the Gooding auction was very charming. I don’t know how you keep it on the road, but it’s charming. 1916 T24, sold for $110,000.
