That also lends some reasoning for buying new and hanging on to it. Of course, that's great for those who not only can afford it, but are either young or have someone young they intend to leave it to, but you need to know which version to get because obviously not all will hold high value.
Either way, it's hard to go wrong if you can afford whichever and want it for awhile or a long while.
I was listening to a "dial and deal" type of thing yesterday and one of the callers was selling his 1973 Grand Am. Most of us wouldn't want it, but it is actually quite rare and he was asking 15k and said it was in mint condition. I had no idea it was rare and still don't want it, but the point is, value can happen anywhere in the automotive world for those w/ a good eye and knowing how many are going to be or were built.. Any V8 73 Grand Am is worth 15k plus in mint condition and the price goes way, way up.

If I were going big boat Pontiac, I'd prefer the 1977 Lemans Can Am

There's the joy of the older cars... we have so many to choose from. Of course, if we all knew which ones to get as they were being built, we'd all have some high dollar cars of whatever make from which we could make a tidy profit. 
I was too young to even consider caring, but if I'd been able to tell my dad to buy a 65 427 Cobra because I just knew... I'd have done it. Of course, raising 9 kids, he'd likely have told me to pound salt.
