I watch Barrett-Jackson a lot and am amazed at the work some of those restorers do.  I like the really old cars with the fabulously flowing  lines.

I can't think of a luckier SOB than the guy that was rooming in college with the son or grandson or something of the founder of Duesenberg Automotive and was told they were going to get rid of all the old blueprints of EVERY Dues. built and all of the dies for making parts.  This guy said he would like them, they gave them to him, and now he is known as Mr. Duesenberg.  I had some good college roommates but none of them put a dollar in my pocket.
