Motor City Madmen will be sad to learn that Byrdlands haven’t appreciated much over these past 20 years. What you paid for one in 2001 is about what you’ll pay for one now. The exception, of course, would be the PAF models. However, those only climbed a meager 20- to 40-percent between 2001 and 2021. The other PAF-endowed Gibsons did much better.
