Why spend money when you could make money?

Today on Just A Car Guy:

justacarguy.blogspot.com/2023/05: 2nd best investment, cars.



Personally I would specialize in sedan deliverys. (The XFi has the rear seat folded down and an FUV sticker in the window.) Given that Art is the only thing that appreciates faster, old Ridler Award winners might be the best investment.

It's a common situation. Many project cars reach a point in the build when you have to make a choice: keep building it as a driver or step it up and build it as a high-level show car.

Joe Horisk never had to make that choice. His most recent car was always meant to be a driver and was always meant to be a contender for the most prestigious show car award around—the Ridler Award. We know that Joe accomplished the second goal. When his custom 1961 Impala wagon appeared at the 2016 Detroit Autorama, it had everybody talking—including the judges, who selected Joe's now-famous Double Bubble as a Pirelli Great 8 winner and Ridler finalist.

The plan for the latest Impala was a little different and a little more ambitious. In Joe's words, "It all started with me wanting to create what I thought a 1961 Impala concept car might look like after the demise of the two-door Nomad."
Linked from that article is a '55 Chrysler with a slant top chop that gives it similar roofline to the new Magnum.
