Ford 1918-1962
The market for older US Fords is strong, with plenty of available vehicles and prices remaining consistent. Anyone who thinks that century-old vehicles are irrelevant hasn’t been to a gathering of Ford T Model enthusiasts, nor those who dote on their A Models and early V8s.
Mid-1930s V8s continue to realise significant money and $100,000 is viable for open-top cars in outstanding condition.
The post-WW2 Ford market is strong as well with later-series Customlines and fully-imported Victoria hardtops offering good buying at $30-50,000.
Side-valve cars from the early 1950s lag a little in performance but there are engine modifications that help them keep pace with the later ones.
