You cant really look at it exactly that way. How much was the Power Wagon worth when it was 15 years old, 500$? It probably was not worth much as a old used truck. Will the 1 ton Cummins rebound and be worth something in 50 years?! Will we be paying $250000 for a 2003 1 ton Dodge in 2053? They only cost $40000 back in the day!
Did OTM's dad's construction company baby Power Wagons back in the day because they thought they were gonna be classic's worth a bunch some day? Probably not they used the truck for work which is what they were built for! Same thing as every 1 ton you see on the road now is used for.
Will the new truck of today be classic's tomorrow? Yes? No? Why? Why Not?
Dodge set the industry on its ear in 1994 with a new look,style,comfort and power and has continued to do so which is what the Power Wagon did in 1946? Why wont they be classic's!
Man I better go mothball my 95 Ram and in 50 years someone can be on Joe's forum here talking about me the crazy guy who wants 2 zillion dollars for a 95 Ram! And hopefully someone will just offer me a fair deal and give me 3 zillion dollars for it! HEHE!
