I don't get surprised at anything any more. I went to a show
Sunday and someone was displaying a late '70's Mercury
Monarch Ghia 4-door! Someone else was displaying an awful
green early '60's Chrysler Imperial with the top half of
a sea monsters head sitting on the hood, and green 'hands'
on the mirrors. I was afraid to look at the rear for fear
there would be some type of tail. (To each his own.)
Cheers,
Doug

I don't personally either, but if you look at what's being restored/rodded on
the American scene at the moment... i.e. fat fender late 40's and the early
50's cars you'll see that peoples tastes change over the years. My dad about
gagged the first time he saw a 52 Chev rodded, those were "boring, old mans
cars" in his words. They are however MUCH less expensive to buy than a 32
Ford or 49 Merc so people buy them to build because they can actually afford
to do so. In 15-20 years there will be few enough of those Z cars around
(not to mention LBCs) that prices will most likely rise there too. I will,
however, still choke the first time I see a restored K car :)
