Whoever still owns such car in good condition, does need to continue taking good care of it, cos it would soon become a collectable's item; Such a car will be worth alot of money in the future.

Actually, what you've just said its kind of difficult in Nigeria because we lack this maintenance and reservation culture. We dont keep things, before any of these car will become a vintage, its gonna take like 50-100yrs and it means you have to start passing down the coming generation in the family. How many Nigerians can do that?
I saw a post on my CNN mobile yesterday, a woman's ford mustang was stolen in 1986 in California and was returned this month. Can that happen in Nigeria

How can anyone possibly omit mentioning Citroën
The Citroën DS (French, pronounced roughly ''seat row en day ess'') is a four-door, front-engine, front-wheel-drive mid-size car manufactured and marketed by the French company Citroën from 1955 to 1975

Managed to one time own & drive this one below:
