Lead story in my Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer Automotive section: Dean Kruse of collectible car auctioneers Kruse Int'l. says: (among other things) "As a rule... a car usually makes its biggest jump in value when it reaches its 20th year, so I advise buying a car when it reaches 16 or 18 years of age, taking good care of it, and preparing to take advantage of the 20-year anniversary leap."
