True car people are becoming a thing of the past

I am old and I thoroughly enjoy seeing anyone, young or old with a PASSION for anything. I believe the car gene is genetic. There is a difference between an interest and passsion. Anyone can develop an interest for anything, but I really think the passion comes naturally. Yes we all can learn and develop skills but a true desire to do, you are born with it. Many people stumble thru life and care less about anything, or maybe just drugs and boos??

I love reading Hemmngs Classic Cars mag although I have no interest to build or own 99% of them in that mag. Just a lot of good articles mostly about the owner and his car. Not just the car. I see the art, the wonder of most any car/ This A.M. I read an article about a resto shop that has been in business for probably 40 years, they are well known for their perfect restos of the Auburns, Deusenburgs, etc. the classis, and wins at Pebble Beach. The owner is aging out and his son is a practicing attorney that never was really into old cars and never pushed by his parents to be such. He started sweeping the floors in the shop at age 12. But the son has decided to quit his law practice and do what he really loves and that is take over the patents business. His passion was there all along!

When the writer asked the owner about the future of these really old cars his answer was, yes so many guys are aging out but there is a steady stream of much younger people that have the passion and the MEANS to be involved with these old cars.

I anyone has the passion, they will find a way to be involved with old cars, whatever cars, some part of it...... not everyone can build a hemi Cuda from scratch, skill or money...not everyone wants a hemi Cuda..but if a person has the passion, he will finda way to be involved with what his means and skills and passion present!
