FWIW, I came very close to having a Contemporary Classic built in the early 1980s, when I was fresh out of school -- it was just a little too expensive, along with being newly married, mortgage, etc. Twenty years later I wrote a check to ERA for my Cobra. If Contemporary Classic was still in business today they would probably be the equivalent of an ERA. In those twenty years the price to get what I wanted more than doubled. I would guess that trend will probably continue.
