I went out of town to my nephews HS graduation party this past weekend.

My brother and BIL were asking about my Mustang but my nephews, their friends and my nieces husbands have zero interest in cars=all late teens or twenty something guys.

My wife tells me all the time we are dinosaurs and she notices all the gray hair at car shows.

Other than the rare modesl these cars are going to continue to drop in price.

The antique tractor hobby is about 15 years ahead of us age wise and that hobby has collapsed and imploded and has been decimated. The amount of restorable old tractors I see going to scrap is frighting.

I wonder if it's just the environment kids today are growing up in. Everyone thinks they are saving the planet these days. If kids don't have parents that own classics they'll most likely have no interest in them. Or maybe it's just that the younger crowd that isn't established in working society can't afford the prices these cars command. Maybe the prices are partly to blame.

I'm with Joe though. I'm not selling anything so not worried about it. If anything I'll be buying more in the future. If I have a garage full of worthless cars when I die, I'll still die happy either way

Both of my kids grew up around them and got to drive some of the rarest cars Pontiac ever built, but have no interest whatsoever in them.
