Time marches on and the age group chasing a certain era of cars "thins out" Look what has happened to the older Hot rod crowd. Some of those 40 Ford coupes that cost 150-200k to build are getting 50-60k now and the crowd chasing them is very small and getting smaller. Just my .02

Yep, and there's not much new money coming in from younger people. Those of them with money are just not interested in cars. People who might want collector cars have much less disposable income than a decade (or more) ago too. The times, they are a-changing.

Lots of people thinning out the heard.
It is a shame he has to break up this collection but we are keepers of are cars for so long.
