Hi Curtis, we need a lot more info in order to give you an honest answer.
Pictures of the car? Does a club member own it? Any pictures underneath?
Any rust bubbles at all popping out around the bottom of the quarters, rear bumper area or rocker panels? Original interior?
Location? Maybe a knowledgeable club member can look at it for you and do a test drive.

In the end, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, based on how badly they want it...........

I'd add to Kenneth's truism: "and how motivated the seller is to move it." Case in point ---I have a solid, reliable, and I'd go as far as saying a beautiful 53' Hollywood, a rare gem, and someone will soon land a screaming deal simply because I've decided to switch gears. With hyper-inflation just around the corner someone, someday, will thank their lucky stars they bought a great running rare American icon classic for <$10K. Don't doubt for a second the price of an average Asian made 10-speed bicycle will be that within 10 - 15 years. Dollar-based stock market funds? Nope, real property is in from here on out.

(Forgive my last shameless plug on this site before I take her International. The truisms and economics stand regardless.)

Thank you both. I know I didn’t include enough pics to assess the car I’m interested in. I see cars that are hornets or have twin H setups for prices That are the same or only slightly higher. Or comments like yours about a Hollywood for < 10. It makes me want to offer them less $ than they want but don’t want to be insulting.

Screaming deal? I’m intrigued

We are living in a different world now. Fewer and fewer people are getting into old cars and way fewer have a clue as to how to do body work or regular maintenance, not to mention the costs of a real restoration.
We are in the middle of a raging pandemic with a large portion of the population unemployed or underemployed taking a lot of "play" money out of the system.
The overall value of antique vehicles has been nose diving compared to several years ago when prices were going up.
All of these factors are contributing to the lack of desirability of buying and restoring another antique car for many.

Kerry ----Your read on things is spot on. Hence why now is a good time to buy especially rare and storied ones such as most Hudsons. The market will come back, it always has, furthermore I stick to my belief that hyper-inflation is around the corner and all of us better be holding something physical/tangible when does. We call them classics for a reason. Thank you!

Robert, you are way more optimistic about the future then I am! With less people even having a desire to own and work
on these cars, I think the days of prices spiking are pretty well done for except for very well done, well known models.

Kerry, I share your thoughts and reasoning on this subject. The push for electric cars in his country and the ensuing "wide-reach" agenda these cars underpin also present strong headwinds. My crystal ball has been defective for many years. But it indicates much rests on the extent to which new markets emerge on the worldwide stage for these classics, and to your point, exceptionally finished, to which I'd add hybrid electric conversions, will command future markets.

Robert, I actually had a couple of thoughts written in my last post about the effect of electric cars on the hobby andd deleated it before posting!

I’m a blend of these concepts. A stock Hudson has been a bucket list car for me that I have decide to buy one now. I am doing a restomod 57 Chevy right now but want a stock everything on the interior. Another bucket list car for me is a 69 VW beetle with an electric conversion

Curtis, where are you located? There is a club member in California that is doing an electric conversion right now.

North of LA

Kerry, I wonder whether the cowboys of yore (a mere 120 years ago) had similar doubts and misgivings about the advent of "horseless carriages?" In my mind's eye I see a tree covered hill and two mounted cowboys gazing down onto a dusty dirt path as a strange "Curved Dash" Oldsmobile sputters by. One turns and says, "Hell, all town folk always know your comin's and goin's." The second replies, "My horse feeds whenever and wherever I dam well please." Horse lifts tail,,,, ok end of story!
