JACK M Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I do enjoy reading articles like this but that 'Daily Mail' has so many pop ups that it is just about impossible to read. This time it locked up completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really will lower the price of things is the corona crisis .Down here nothing happens anymore in that field .I am lucky that i don't have horses because these need food everyday and my cars will just sit it out .Countless businesses will go broke and the extra money to play with will be gone also .In the meantime i wish everybody good luck because the mayority of these old car enthousiasts are in the danger zone (over 65) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be one of the few cars that prices do not come down. It really is too early to say what will be. My wife works in the medical field, and she tells me the day to day on the virus. It is very serious, but they are making great strides in such a short time as far as testing, getting supplies, and a vaccine. I am optimistic, and hopeful. But with all of this going on, the '57 Chevy will still be up there in price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices have bhers.een dropping slowly as we 50's kids already have the car we want, or move on to others 29 minutes ago, John S. said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Ed, one of my favorite cars is the 1957 Chevy. I had a convertible back in 1973, 74. I loved it. It was a 235 six with a Powerglide. One of the most dependable car I ever owned. Would love to get it back. Looking at the convertible and Nomads, their prices are still high. But Ed, you are right. Who really knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) One can purchase a basically correctly restored ‘57 Bel Air Convert for 60k here in our market....check FB Marketplace. I have seen prices softening on these cars. I agree with Ed that the ‘57 is a pretty good barometer of the condition of the under 100K market. I have seen some decline in the top ‘57 models.

Jeff, I know the car that you are talking about, and I agree with you, but as Ed accurately put it, "Who really knows!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Luddy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I chose the 57 Chevrolet as a " barometer car' . I prefer a 57 Chrysler, a 57 Ford, a 57 Studebaker Hawk, then Dodge, Mercury, and Plymouth over the Chevy. I know I'm in a minority here but I like what I like!

Ed Luddy Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 A more popular choice now in 2020 would be 1968-70 Dodge Chargers or 1969 Camaro's for a "Barometer car" maybe? I'm a senior now and these cars have left a lot of others of the era behind. I had a chance to check out a nice 1969 Camaro today. Very original. Still has some factory paint. Floors and chassis never touched. It does need work, but the way I see it, there are more restored, cloned, modified, rebodied, race car 1969 Camaro's than originals now. So just make a mechanically safe driver and preserve it's true" patina" vs. fake" patina". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone out there building new collections. With these large auctions will it flood the market enough to affect the price? Here is one collection with 80 pages in the catalog. https://www.mecum.com/auctions/vannoy-2020/lots/featured/ As for 57 Chevy's Haggerty shows they are slipping in price.

BucketofBolts Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 How many "unknown" collectors are out there that have sizable vehicle collections that have been hidden for decades? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
