☆ A rare spaceship-shaped Domino's delivery vehicle is going up for auction—the last one sold for nearly $45,000
  + stars: | 2023-10-20 | by ( Nicolas Vega | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
A rare experimental Domino's delivery vehicle from the 1980s will soon be on the auction block. The vehicle, which has been restored, boasts an "aerodynamic body with a purported 0.15 drag coefficient," according to the listing. The average car, for comparison, usually has a drag coefficient between 0.3 and 0.4. The Tritan once included a warming oven in the back to keep pizzas warm during delivery. The arch on the back of the vehicle acts as a sail, Mecum says, which helps it get up to 80 miles to the gallon.

☆ This 1980s Domino's delivery car looks like a spaceship and you could buy it

CNN —The 1985 Domino’s Pizza delivery car looks more like it was designed to shoot down invading alien spacecraft than to bring you a hot delicious pepperoni pie. But back in the ’80s, Domino’s founder Tom Monaghan ordered 10 Tritan A2 cars and customized them with warming ovens in the back to deliver pizzas around Ann Arbor, Michigan, where Domino’s is headquartered. The Tritan A2 was designed by engineers James Amick and his son Douglas. Mecum Auctions did not provide a value estimate for the Tritan A2. Domino’s did not respond to questions about the Tritan A2.

Gutes Guterman sat on an antique French farm bench in Pig Bar, a craft beer shop overlooking the scene-y slice of Lower Manhattan known as Dimes Square. Reaching for a gherkin, her hand in a lacy fingerless glove, she paused to gesture toward the former site of the Drunken Canal newspaper box. “If you know, you know,” she said. It was a cool spring day, and Ms. Guterman, 26, was here to talk about her latest editorial venture: Byline, a website that went live on Thursday. Ms. Guterman and a friend, Claire Banse, started the paper mid-lockdown.

☆ Why some cars from the 1990s are soaring in value
  + stars: | 2023-01-16 | by ( Peter Valdes-Dapena | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —Not that long ago, cars from the 1990s were just used cars. In addition to insuring collectible cars, Hagerty also owns the auction company Broad Arrow. Values for 1990s-era collectible cars have risen by an average of 78% over the past three years, “which is huge,” Rabold said. Cars from the ’90s have at least some modern comfort and safety features, and even relatively inexpensive cars can have respectable power and performance. We’re talking about “collectible” cars.
☆ Online car market Bring a Trailer closing out year with record $1.35 billion in sales
  + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Robert Frank | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Online car market Bring a Trailer said it expects to close out the year with a record $1.35 billion in sales, as a new generation of collectors logged on to buy classic and pre-owned cars. Randy Nonnenberg, Bring a Trailer's president and co-founder, told CNBC that sales for the year are up 63% from 2021, when sales hit $829 million. The question now is whether the pandemic-fueled frenzy of car collecting will hold up if there is a recession. Nonnenberg said he sees no evidence of a slowdown in the company's business. Hagerty, the classic-car insurance company, also entered the auction business, buying Broad Arrow and launching Hagerty Marketplace, an online sales platform.
