WOW! 4 years since it sold last and they expect it to double in value again? Hummm....

Double in value in 4 years is an 18% annual return per year, not too shabby.

I remember when the 1st Model T rolled off the line. We watched from across the street. Ours was the third one. We picked all 3 options... black paint, wood wheels and a polished engine crank.

Since the first Model T was built in 1908, that would make you somewhere on the high side of 106 years old. And still driving! Congratulations!
