Pretty certain if you stuck that in stocks it'd be worth about 30x that amount.
Wow, look, i have this slab of steel.
Cool, just what till it rusts, and it falls into pieces, then it will be worth 100s-1000s of times more than paid for it.
Ed, these vids talking about upgrades are great. Do more please.
If you had invested this $350 dollars in the s&p500 in 1950 you would have $1,137,130 today given that you reinvested dividends!
One of the most well-known examples of the gold standard is that in the 1950's each 35 dollars had an ounce of gold in it.
So 350 back then had ten ounces for about $26,000 today.
Got the rudge wheels on my 356 and they were a high priced option for wheels that are heavy as hell. He didn’t even mention the cost of the original brass hammer.
The down side is if I had enough money in the 50’s to buy a seven figure car, I’d be dead by now.
My grandfathers gullwing he owned is one of the most famous gullwings and photographed gullwings the one in the berman museum
It doesn’t really matter since the car is well over $1 million for a very nice example.
What a hot guy.
worth no cost yes
Yes, i would like the spiked chariot death wheels
This fella has super autism
I can’t stand these guys. Goodbye.
If you put that 4K in the stock market in the 1950 id be worth 12.4M. Wheels were a terrible investment
That dark blue with the black rims was pretty.
Ah yes, whenever i choose wheels i think whats this going to be worth in 74 years.
I'd happily pay an extra $200k for massive inconvenience when i get a puncture.
Wow
My client has them on his 300sl aswell as the wire spoked ones in his garage, as a detailer I can say I like cleaning the Rudge wheels more lol
Stuff is only worth what people are willing to pay.
this car is a sculpture! pure art
If you bought that car new you were an adult and most likely not around today to realize any gain in profit.
It’s a Shame Escobar 300sl droptop got destroyed
damn and i sold them as scrap round 10 ears ago ….
Isn’t foresight a brilliant thing!
The way how he speaks when it first starts sounds like motorbike redlining
My favorite car in then world
“Inconventient” that’s a new one 😂
Everyone please note the terminology "wheels" not rims….the correct word.
Can't say the same for my Saturn SL1 😅😂
