There is a big difference, though.
Back in our day, teenage boys universally were drawn to cars like a moth to a flame.
Cars represented so much, including freedom.
These days, not so much. It's been written about it a lot of car mags and regular newpapers, but kids these days largely don't care much about cars.
I know it's that way where I live. 95% of teenage boys don't care a lick about cars. They view them as appliances. They don't particularly care about driving, because they get driven everywhere already. They don't need to go as many places, since socially they'll just text most of the time, or connect on social media.
Of course, there are exceptions, some teen boys still are into cars. But it's a small number. As an example, my kids are in high school, and I don't know a single kid that works on his or her car. When I was 17/18, pretty much every 17/18 year old kid on my block had a car or motorcycle in some state of disrepair in the garage!
So I think the collector car market will be much smaller and very, very different 30 years from now.
