Probably quite a few...these are the cars that kids are growing up with today. Oldsters grew up with '50s & '60s cars and look back on them with fondness now, just like some guy 40 years from now will look back on that Subi STI he had as a kid.
On the other hand, car shows of this type may disappear all together. It seems that a significant number of today's kids aren't all that interested in cars, or even in getting a driver's license. Used to be that having a car represented freedom to a kid. Nowadays, they're all hooked up to social media and are texting & tweeting non-stop. Why bother driving over to a friend's house when you can talk, text & game with them while sitting on the couch watching TV and chugging Red Bulls.
On the other hand, car shows of the future may just consist of large iPAD-like devices sitting out on the grass with photos of cars on them. Or why even make an effort to get out of bed and go the park...just go on-line and search out a virtual car show to "attend".
