They probably already are, but rarity is dependent on the existence of 
demand for there to be any purpose to it, and the benefits of the rarity are 
in proportion to the demand.

So I had a 51 Kaiser that was 'rare' (only one in England, only a few 
hundred left worldwide), but as nobody wanted it I took a big hit when I 
sold it.

I also have a 'rare' Lancia Appia van which has the world's first 5-speed 
gearbox, and in that case 'rare' means 'only one in England' and 'fewer than 
10 worldwide'. I could sell it 10 times over for a good profit, but 
unfortunately I don't want ever to sell it, so its worth is of no use to me.

So... 4-doors might easily become the rarest of all (ever tried to find a 
1957 Chevy 150 4-door sedan?) - but that still don't mean anyone will want 
one.

Unfortunately I have one of those too. At least *I* appreciate it.

Cheers
