There are also more direct competing technology. We think there is no replacement for the sound of an air-cooled 911, but would an electric sports car that vastly out accelerates, brakes, and turns an air-cooled 911 sway future audiences. Don't know. Time will tell.
I'm not in this as a collector, and could care less about what happens to the value of my car. However, price is probably the best indicator of demand and interest. Strong demand, prices flourish. Weak demand, prices languish. It would need to be measurably different than inflation to indicate a change in demand. It will be interesting to watch over the next decade or two. PS - at the recent levels of inflation it's about $1k/yr on a $40k vehicle.

Good points Greg, especially your comments regarding electric vehicles.
