Market commentary

The price is over the top and outta sight, but where or when will another one like this show up When its available the drive to take it home is pretty strong and the buyers came prepared to do what it took. What it took was a lot, a serious lot, of money. It is a strong inducement to restorers to find more Birdseye Maple Fords, thats for sure.
