Thanks Ernie, I DO look at Hemmings quite regularly, probably focus more on the pre-war stuff as that is my core area of interest. I also agree with Don, and like I said in my previous post, the disparity between list and sell can be stark. Also, I watch the online auction action and always check out Barrett Jackson when it's televised. Auctions seem to go either way with some cars going for obviously more-than-market value, while others, one couldn't cover the cost of the paint job for what they hammer at. I know condition is ALMOST everything, along with make, collectability and pedigree, but the 'from-to' on some of these cars is quite remarkable. My initial question on the '50 Packard wasn't really about what those cars are worth as it was about how much THAT one is worth. I realize there is no exact answer and it is somewhat subjective, thus my query here, to seasoned pros who have been around the hobby for many years. Chris.
