For me, perhaps one of the most fascinating parts of the hobby is to hear/know about the specialty cars that make up the registries. I have some particular ponderings including:
-
What was it like when the registries were forming? were there new additions every day/week/month?
-
How many need additions have been added in 2011?
-
Got any good stories about obscure finds
-
Are some of the cars marked as “withheld” owned by celebrities that we’d recognize?
-
what percentage of the cars on the registies are complete/running and how many are known to be “largely depreciatiated”
I could go on and on…and I’d really love to hear more. Perhaps this is not a topic for a thread but rather an article/newsletter update. I know this may sound like i’ve just given y’all an assignment, but I’d help with it if yous’d be willing to share your insight. Perhaps sometime when you’re fully caffeinated.
