What makes a collectible? less than 2000 made?

[David Pressler]

November 1998 the last Buick Riviera came off the assembly line for a total of 1,884 less than 50 exist in the world today except for the Silver Arrow special production of 200.

At some date these 1999 Rivieras will become in demand and unbeliveable still can be found for under $5,000, a BMW 650i will cost $98,000 and I will run circles down the highway with my Buick.
My 2 cents

I now have two and will be selling one but will not give it away.

Demand.

you can have a 'one of' the history of the whole planet and it won't make any difference if nobody else wants it.

fortunately for you, there's an entire club for Riviera owners:

How could you possibly know how many still exist today for a car that they made so many of?

Rare doesn't equal valuable. Unfortunately.
ask the 72 sun coupe owners. Or yugo owners.

From where did you glean "less than 50" ?
