History Where is this hobby headed?

banjorear said, "Another factor is and has always been in cost. Not too many young guys are in a position to drop $80-100K on a killer Deuce roadster, etc. That same dude can afford $20K on a decent Fox body GT 5.0."

That describes my grandson. He and his wife really stretched to by a house with no garage. Guess who stores his car in the winter? I first started making a living in the hot rod industry in 1961 and the question of "where is this hobby going" was front and center back then. Very simply, the answer is EVERY WHICH WAY! Believe it or not, the cost of early VW bug stuff is higher than a cat's ass! I'm in the process of redoing the '29 CCPU avatar and I can't believe the prices I'm paying for Model A repro parts and I'm semi-rich! I see more tricked out Subaru's than muscle cars where I live.
