() It's classic lines will never go out of style. Like the E-Type Jaguar, still one of the sexiest automobiles ever produced and still highly sought after more than 50 years after it's introduction.
To put the B-40 price tag in context, I'm guessing $15,000 per year was a good upper-middleclass income back in 1962.
