    If you seek value in the present for the future, the most recent list of collectible vehicles could ensure you appreciate your ride as it appreciates in value down the road.

    Hagerty auto insurance president and CEO McKeel Hagerty released a list that is not parsed from yesteryear but features forward-looking, high-tech, high-powered machinery. The 10 cars that make Hagerty’s Hot List are most often mass-produced vehicles for the current model year listing for less than $100,000. Consideration was given to newly launched cars that never appeared on a previous list but will likely earn a spot in the next 20 years.
