I would add that social media has such a huge influence on the youth of today, and that people/channels like Cleetus McFarland (Garrett Mitchell), Stradman, Vice Grip Garage, Whistlin' Diesel, etc., are drawing kids out of the cyber world (at least partially) and into the car world. Maybe not all into muscle cars of yore, but at least into the mechanical realm vs video games. My older step son is 25 and he loves old muscle but new exotics as well, but my younger son isn't into cars too much (15) although he does have a mild interest. Time moves on and who knows what will happen in the future, but I think the move back to ICE for now will keep the collector car world progressing for quite sometime yet. I think the famous Mark Twain quote, “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated” would apply to the world of collector cars.
