You make a good point. I am 46, and grew up with these cars. I see a lot of retirement-age folks at car cruises, a smaller group of people in my age bracket, and very few under 35 yrs old.
The one counterpoint I will make: It seems like NICE examples of 1950s cars still bring good money, and you aren't going to pick up a 40 Ford coupe, 32 Ford 3-window, etc for cheap. Most people in my gen-X age group don't really care about anything pre-musclecar era, but somebody must be buying them.
