Re: [FWDLK] 58 vs. 59 $$$$

["Scott H" <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I find unusual is the huge variance between similar cars of the same
year.  A 56 Savoy averaged about $3500 - $4000 but a 56 Dodge Royal Lancer
averages $10,500 - $11,000. The Dodge is clearly better equipped but this is
a lage variation for  for two similar vehicles.
Well thats all of my rambling for the day.
