Theory of Progression - See Rod Knock's explanation above.

No... Not quite! This would only be the case if ERA002 was desired, & that may be the case in time if ever the boys in New Britain ever closed their doors, but unlikely otherwise.
I would assume that used Factory Five cars being a dime a dozen would not improve in price, regardless of any progression in other makes.

Yes, that's true, but watch how the used Kirkhams will follow up in price, because ultimately a Kirkham new or used is a desired commodity.

Economics 101 - Supply (Kirkham - limited) versus Demand (desire to own - high)...
