The annual Hagerty Bull Market List is out, and there are still several days before Christmas to run out and grab one of these incredible vehicles for someone you love. Or for yourself. After all, why shouldn’t you treat yourself to a Lamborghini Gallardo to end 2024? If the big vintage car insurance company says these cars are safe(ish) bets, then it’s not like you’re going to lose a bunch of money in the process, are you?
This is, of course, not financial advice. If you’re going to go out and buy yourself a collectible car, it should be one you really love, because the car market is about as volatile a market as any other collectible. Everyone bases prices on vibes, and people get excited and overpay for things at auction. If the car isn’t good, you’ll inevitably hate it and it will have been a waste of money, right? Buy stuff you actually want to drive and if it inflates in value, it’s just a bonus.
With that in mind, let’s dig into this year’s list and give it a little bit of analysis. Why not?
