As far as "the hobby is picking up steam" goes,
vehicle prices are not reflective of that sentiment.
I keep a close eye on '33/34 Fords and their base has dropped between 20-30% over the last few years.
It looks like the later muscle cars and truck market are gaining though.
I guess my comment was referring to hot rods; which is what I'm into. With events like TROG, Lone Star Round Up, International Events in Europe etc.. Since I never experienced the good old days, to me, it feels like the days of old.

Sadly, "stock" cars are not gaining price momentum, but that same car hot rodded is.

Not saying it's right or it's wrong, it's what is going on currently.

If you're on Instagram, each day there are feeds of barn finds, cool builds, events, neat speed parts come up for sale and trade hands.

The hobby is alive and well, it's just not done through Hemmings or other "traditional" sources any longer.

I saw more "young" guys driving around in T's at Hershey than I've ever seen T cars driving.
