I've got no interest in a Bel Air. A Corvette or Mustang or Chevelle from the 60's, sure. But older than that, unless it is a 356 or Ferrari, you can keep it.

My point is that with the generational shift there is coming a shift in tastes. They are right, the market for old American cars is flat and is likely to deflate. But a new market is rising up to take its place. What is defined as collectible is shifting.
I agree with this.

We in Gen X are the first generation where the majority grew up driving foreign cars.
