dibs, I’ve got an apt in a 1875 mansion on clinton ave. It became the woodward school in the 1930s and a coop in the 80s. Some of the electrical wiring seems to be original…
Hey DIBS, the 3.0CS is certainly one of the most beautiful cars ever, and the regular street versions (not the CSL) are very reasonably priced, even restored concours models I think are under 40k.
There’s a giy in the Gowanus has a baby blue one he parks in front if the Mill condo… I drool every time I see it.
chicken…there’s been a real bubble in collector car prices. I don’t know if its bursting yet but there are still a lot of barrett-Jackson auctions with stuff selling at truly ridiculous prices. I get the feeling that a lot of the buyers are people that would never put their money in the stock market and believe that these prices will hold up forever. I can understand a Duesenberg going for a million dollars but not some exotic one-off 60s car!!!!
Luckily for midtown you can still netflix “holiday” and “my man godfrey” to see old new york glory. We’re thinking about re-doing the surrounds in our fireplaces, I think a trip to Newport and the Breakers may be prudent.

In fact there’s a lovely one on ebay right now for a buy it now of 20k.

In that case, I will bide my time and buy something nice around the same time as I get a house!
How old is your house DeLepp??
Speaking of interesting houses, have any of you been to see Fredric Church’s Olana?
