Complimentary issue of OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE
« on: March 27, 2020, 06:01:38 PM »
Received an email from OLD CARS with access to download a *free* copy of their latest issue of their March/April Price Guide so I'm sharing it with all of you.

We hope you're staying home, staying healthy and staying safe. We're looking forward to the end of isolation and the start of car show season.

Many thanks, that is great information to have although it is just a price guide and no guarantees.  I expect prices to take a dive at least temporarily as buyers dry up because of the corona virus.  Lets hope that they find a cure for it soon.

I've bought the print version occasionally over the years but this is the first time I've seen a digital version. As usual my Aero value is about the same. I don't think it's fluctuated more than a few hundred dollars in 2 or 3 decades.
As Gordie mentioned, values could take a dive. I think vehicle sales dropped 90% in China, no doubt something similar is happening here in states where dealerships are open by appointment only.
Hopefully one of the drugs to treat the virus being tried will pan out & become widely distributed so things can return to normal.
Thanks for posting!

Unlike some other types of old car pricing information, OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE has tried to base their changes in prices on actual sales that they could either report on or were reported to them and verified.  K-F and Willys products are not among the more common cars to change hands so they don't have that much to go on.   Projections based on things like general inflation trends or other economic factors not tied to actual market action aren't the best for that reason.
