Not Ranked
I think the interest for our cars will die off before legistlation takes over. Look, the original model T and A Fords (not to be confused with the T&A that will never go out of style) are falling to the wayside as the the guys that lead that hobby are dying off. Interest has just gone away with time. Yeah the streetrod thing keep them alive in a differant form ,so to speak, but that will cycle too.
My young sons are the exception as they are into Mustangs-whereby all their buddies are into ricers and 4 cyls.
Look at the predominate age groups of the Cobra hobby today.
You will see guys that grew up in the era of the originals and younger guys that sort of had the baton passed to them, but beyond that most young guys under age 40 would much prefer a Corvette to a Cobra or even a WRX to a Mustang.
I am most curious as to what the future market will be for my 66 Shelby GT350. My best guess is it will become a museum piece or strickly for parades in the next 30 yrs. Insurance and car values will probably dictate that more than legistlation.
Support SEMA and its work while we can. Other than that the young kids will decide the future of the sport as we know it. I think.
