those are Hemmings prices, and it was middle of summer.
Probably could have got same cars for 20% less if found it local.

oh, there was a 56 Mercedes Gullwing for $35,000.  Those are a few million I think now.

also, all the million dollar Ferraris you see today, are in this mag for about $20,000 to $40,000
