    Old Car Price Guide, OCPG, my restorer swears by it over Hagerty because it gives you value #'s 1 through 6. It comes out every 2 months. But in the 3 consecutive issues I have there have been no change in value for the cars in which I'm interested. Also it values my Falcon Sprint convertible as only 8% to 9% over the 2 door hardtop. Who said, "If the top goes down, the price goes up?"

    Old Cars Weekly publishes Old Cars Price Guide, I believe.

    Hagerty is an insurance company they insure your car on an agreed value. That being said I’m ¾ done with my Mark II, it’s not on the road yet I have increased the insured value to $90,000. They have agreed to cover my loss at $90,000 if the car is destroyed. The values that they have place on their web site are values that they will pay. When I get this car done I’ll most likely insure it with them for more than $150,000.00 based on my cost records. If it were to sell at auction for over $200 they would insure it for that. Knowing this, I Think that Hagerty has a better handle on values than most other sources. I get several value guides each month and one of them is OLD CARS REPORT they have a 1960 Super 90 Porsche Roadster #1 listed value at $66,000. The last one that I know of that was bought cost $150,000 and it is a # 4. This book is not very accurate with foreign cars and yet they have the Mark II at $90,000 for a #1.

    I've noticed the early Chrysler letter cars dropping in value recently. The 1958 Bel Air Convertible is probably an Impala, which was a subcategory. The 1958 Eldorado Sedan is most likely the Eldorado Brougham 4 door suicide door hardtop:

    interesting cars, but who is responsable for that list? Where is the Corvette? Who cares for a 57 Bel Air with the smallest engine? The Power Pack (283/220) is the only one which counts. The same question concerns the 57 Thunderbird, who wants the 292/212? It's the 312/245 which matters. And an Impala is sought after with a 348 big block only. Three Chrysler letter-cars and not the 300B?
    At least the Mark II is in the field. Okay, the rest is accebtable.

    Was the 58 Eldo a 3 door, I seem to remember the rear door only on the drivers side.

    The Eldo Brougham was 4 doors with rear suicide doors and they did it with almost no B pillar:





    check this link out at 7 minutes in.

    The Vanity Package if complete and original adds $37,000 value to one of these in #1 condition.
