Classic station wagons vs classic sedans- which are more expensive?

I keep telling mine that I need to trade her in on a newer model, but then she usually gives me a swat upside the head and tells me to go play with my toys.

I've got a 71 Torino GT and a 89 reliant (winter beater) to finish up before I begin another project.

 

I've always found that trading them in is false security. By the time you've had them for a while you learn to live with the little idiosycracies. When you get a new one you just don't know what you're getting. You could get someone elses problems.

 

If you go far enough North, they put them ice-flows when their teeth are worn out!

 

Yeah, and each model doesn't come with replacement parts. Complicated wiring and plumbing.

 

I think that as time goes by even the wagons go up in price, just not at the same rate as their sedan counterparts. For example, the 57 Chevy. It's iconic, it's Americana. But most of them weren't two door hard top fuelie Bel Airs. So people who want a 57 Chevy but can't afford a top of the line two door (because they cost more than a house) might find a four door, or even a four door wagon and purchase it because it's still a 57 Chevy, still has the look and feel of the era and is in their price range.
I'm not that old, but I can remember in my younger days seeing the four doors and wagons of these era cars for decent prices (yet still out of my lawn mowing money price range) now they are three times the money. People who grew up around these cars want them. People like me who weren't even born yet want these cars. My wagon is worth more to me sentimentally then to anyone else monetarily. Yet in another 20 years it will have gone up in value simply because it is a "Classic American car from the 60's". It's supply and demand
