I've noticed a trend in the last few years and it's the cars and collections coming on the market due to the owners death or health issues. I just bought a R2 Hawk from a widow yesterday, and am looking at a big Studebaker collection from a owner that's too ill to keep his cars today. There are more cars out there then I can afford to buy and the trend seems to be accelerating. I'm not sure if the new breed of Studebaker collectors will absorb all the cars coming on the market, especially the 'under appreciated' models. For example, I'm looking at the "flashy' cars in the collection today, but will only buy the bread and butter cars because I have to. The time may come when even the flashy car market is saturated, time will tell. I predict the values of at least some models may start dropping as our members age.
