“KEVIN MUELLER’S car collection started with his grandmother’s 1957 Chevrolet sedan, which he received as a high school graduation present in 1980. In the years since, he has added a few classic Chrysler Corporation cars and a red-and-white ’57 Chevy Bel Air convertible. But his collectible that draws the biggest crowd at car shows isn’t even an automobile: it’s a 1958 Glastron Seaflite, a fiberglass boat with tailfins much like those on the ’57 Chevy that tows it.
…While finned boats are now worth many times their original list prices of roughly $1,200 to $2,000, they remain fairly affordable — if you can find one.”
