Wouldn't a car have to have achieved some form of distinction to become a truly collectible car down the road? I know the Citation would be a curiosity if in pristine condition and possibly worth more than new and so would the Aurora but these cars are not considered a "classic" or limited production..
The mass produced undistinguished cars if held for years and years would hardly appreciated enough to offset the cost of storing, insurance, maintenance, etc. There is always value placed on enjoyment and pride in a car and that would add untangible value but not to the next buyer...

HIQ made some valid statements in his posting. I guess the bottom line is to somehow get a crystal ball and figure out what will be the "classic" car of the future..
The hard pill to swallow will be that a lot of them will be Japanese cars...
