It turns out a lot of people felt the same way about their 1800. It's
collectable and I guess you can get anything you need, like a
Beetle. It's tough to be a classic car collector in the midwest I'll bet. I
knew one guy who had a dozen or so cars and said that
a heated, humidity-controlled, & airconditioned barn was necessary. Can you
imagine the expense?
