Don't remember that........but then I'm not as old as you are!!

I had a booth at the '73 L.A. Roadster swap on Father's Day, back when it was at the Great Western Exhibit Center. Three stalls down from mine was a guy selling a very nice, bright red, '32 5 window, done to a pretty high standard for the day. I thought he was nuts asking the price he was, but within a few hours I watched a guy peel off 55 $100 dollar bills..............SOLD!!!!! Today they're going for somewhere $45-55K, still, the house I'd bought the year earlier for $22.5K probably couldn't be bought today, even in the depressed SoCal market, for 10 times that, so things haven't changed all that much I guess.
