The Dow Is Down. The Collector Car Index? Up 185%.

In a year of market whiplash and rising volatility, traditional indexes like the Dow are stalling out—while the collector car market quietly roars ahead.
This article covers:
  • Dow Jones volatility in 2025
  • Performance of collector cars over the past decade
  • Why more investors are reallocating toward tangible assets
  • Real-world asset investing and its growing appeal
  • How MCQ Markets provides fractional access to this booming space
When the Dow Jones Industrial Average sneezes, the whole market catches a cold.
In 2025, the Dow is down 5.2% year-to-date, rattled by trade wars, interest rate uncertainty, and political instability (Bloomberg). It’s no surprise that investor sentiment is fraying. With the Volatility Index (VIX) hitting 30-year highs, the traditional playbook is officially out the window.
So where’s the upside?
Turns out, it’s parked in a garage.
The Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index reports that collector cars have appreciated by a stunning 185% over the last 10 years, outperforming luxury real estate, fine wine, and even art (Knight Frank Wealth Report). These assets don’t just hold their value—they build it, powered by scarcity, global demand, and legacy craftsmanship.

While equities react to headlines, collector cars are driven by a different engine: supply and passion

Vehicles like the Ferrari 512 BBi, Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series, and Lexus LFA represent a slice of history—and they’re not making any more of them. This scarcity creates a long-term floor of demand that many investors find appealing, especially as high-net-worth individuals continue to diversify into real-world assets.

That’s where MCQ Markets comes in. Through our car investment platform, investors can own shares in elite collector cars starting at just $20. We’re not here to replace your portfolio—we’re here to round it out.

The Dow may be spinning its wheels.

But in the collector car world?

Traction has never looked better.
