Volt Named 2011’s Collectible Car of Future Years from now General Motors Co.’s Chevrolet Volt extended-range hybrid sedan will be the most desirable North American-made model from the 2011 model year, according to the Friends of the National Automotive History Collection in Detroit.
The group names a future collectible each year. Past winners, which have all been domestic brand cars, include the Chevy Camaro (2010), Ford Flex (2009), Dodge Challenger (2008), Dodge Viper SRT10 (2007), Pontiac Solstice (2006), Ford Mustang (2005) and Chrysler 300 (2004). The honor was first bestowed on the Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Aurora in 1995.
The NAHC calls itself the world’s largest public archive of automotive books, manuals, photos and historic documents.

Hey, what about my old 1973 fire-engine red Gremlin? Not on the list?

Collectible only because of its novelty and soon-to-be obsolescence a la the Edsel.

The Modern Day Yugo. What do you call a Yugo with a flat tire? Totaled. What’s included in every Yugo owner’s manual? A bus schedule. What do you call a Yugo that breaks down after 100 miles? An overachiever. Why does the Yugo have a rear-window defroster? So you can keep your hands warm while you push it.

All these pro-Volt stories have a certain Soviet flavor to them.

There might be some sense to this ranking. So few are actually in existence, and of those, there will be a nubmer that don’t survive because of burning up.

Don’t forget those illegal immigrant ghettos where Yugos are frequently used in push-by shootings.

The Edsel is a very collectible vehicle also.

The Volt will collectible in the same way the Edsel and the Pinto are collectible.I wonder if there are as many Volts on the road as there are currently licensed Edsels.

Isn’t it about time someone shows up to tell us how wonderful a car the Volt is?
If it’s so valuable in the future, can we send them all there now?
