I’m also a classic car enthusiast, but playing devil’s advocate (or my fiancee) often people can’t comprehend why an old car might be worth $1M.
A new car is better in every technical aspect than some old 50’s technology that is slow, unreliable, high-maintenance and uncomfortable.
Yet, people will pay multiple millions for one. My 2012 Jetta is more comfortable and cheaper to drive than my '69 Torino, yet I still own and drive it all the time.
