The 1976 Eldorado was supposed to be the "Last of the Convertibles" and was the first instant collectible car I can remember.  Prices were going for double retail and for the next  10 years these cars commanded a huge premium until Detroit started building convertibles again.   The next instant collectible I remember was the 78 Corvette pace car.  90% of the instant collectible cars would end up losing their value.  The one exception being the Ford GT.
