Interesting old Hemmings Motor News

[MrBoogie]

I was rummaging through my basement last night and ran across some car magazines from the 80’s and 90’s. I found this old Hemmings, which I ended up looking through for hours. I found it interesting to see what car values have done over the past 25 years. Muscle cars have gone up astronomically, but some cars aren't priced much higher today than they were in 1992. 40's Cadillac's, 55-57 T-Birds, and several others probably haven't even outpaced inflation.

Here are a few Mustang ads for fun. If we only knew then what we know now!

Nice, those would all just about be 6 figure cars today.

I remember shopping for my first mustang with my Dad back in the mid 80's. There were loads of decent 65-68's in my area back then (upstate SC). A very good v8 coupe could be had for $5k, fastbacks maybe $6-7K, convertibles $8-10K. There were a few K-code fastbacks around, don't recall what they were going for but pricier. I ended up with a very decent, unrestored 65, 289 coupe, and we paid just over $2k for it.
