From the mid seventies until I moved from the UK to the US, I always bought low-mileage, near mint series 2 Jaguar XJs and its variants.
That all started because I never found another car (including later Jags) that I liked so much and anyway buying new cars is just foolish. But in later years it also became a really cheap way to own a good car. The annual license fee for older cars was dropped in the UK. I got a big break on insurance by having an older car, belonging to a supporters club and having fixed-mileage insurance. And these models became collectible, so it wasn't hard to make a profit when selling them.
I'm guessing there are cars in the US that fit a similar scenario and let's face it, older cars have a lot more personality or whatever you want to call it, than the clones everyone rolls out these days.
