[TR] Hey, we made CNN Money's top 10 "dirt cheap" collectible cars...

[Brad Kahler]

Tony,

I've had four from the list: Spitfire (several actually), a Fiat 850
sypder, 67 Bug, a 280Z and although it wasn't Buick I had a 55 Olds
Delta 88 Deluxe.  The Olds was a big old boat but fun to drive.  I
really liked the Olds floor push button for tuning the radio.
