Association with pleasant events and persons, social aspiration past and present, good design and styling appeal, in some examples, timeless excellence. For some, the mechanicals are the primary attraction with the packaging secondary, tho generally styling and association trump all else. BMWs are generally well engineered cars with a style that has it's own fan base.
however, for big money in an auction market, American muscle cards of a certain age are the new superstars.
