Special cars like the Dusenbergs or SL Gullwing will always be expensive.
this is what i am projecting as well.

the special cars will continue to be expensive but i expect them (the 50s to 70s ones) to level off somewhat. going to be very interesting looking at 80s to 00s cars in the next decade

My thoughts as well. As Boomers go away the next generations will be accumulating disposable income and will be able to buy the cars they loved when they were younger. A '57 Chevy doesn't fit that description. My 14 CTS-V wagon does.

That may be true, but the low supply of those "boomer" nostalgia cars will likely keep those prices propped up.
