I've told the story many times about the young fella at the local beer distributor that thought my TR8 was some new model car. Most people in the collector car market want old. I think the advanced styling hurts our cars value for this reason.
I enjoyed the reference to Andy Warhol as he was a Pittsburgh native, Pittsburgh being about 30 miles from where I live. I've been to the museum they have for him. A talented yet eccentric person for sure. Maybe a bit ahead of his time, much the same as our cars.
