Now as far as classic cars for investment purposes, I agree with many who think we may be at or near the top of the market because of demographics.

Only time will tell.
While I think predicting the future can be a fool's errand, I also think there's a difference between the "hobby" and "investment" markets.

While prices may fluctuate, the trend will continue up for cars such as the old and older Ferrari's, air-cooled Porsche's, Jaguar's, musclecar era cars such as the Hemi Cuda and of course, the original 1960's era Shelby & AC Cobra's. IMO, they're like art work and paintings.

Hobby and/or kit cars will be around in the future, but the faces and regulations will change and the hobby will be forced to change with it.
