$470 Billion Worth of Collectible Cars Are About Be Passed From One Generation to the Next

-
Personally, I'd have no problem giving one of my project cars to a younger person if they showed true interest. But all the younger people I've ever met today have no concept of what a classic car is. I'm not saying that all kids are the same, but all the one's I've met are not interested.

My Nephew was bought a new electric power wheels atv when he was 8, which he drove for a month and then left out in the field. Then he was bought a new gas go-cart when he was 11 which he drove for a month and left out in the field. Then he was bought a new Yamaha Grizzly atv when he was 12 that he drove for a month and left out in the field. Then he was bought a new jumbo side-by-side with blasting stereo and light bars when he was 14 that he drove for a month an then left out in the field. So now that he's approaching driving age, there's a pattern that dictates that he wouldn't want to get anywhere near a classic car.... His family even has a super-cool glass roof Ford in their barn. I've been chomping at them for years that I'll help them drag it out and get it going. But they have no interest...

You haven’t met my 12 yr old daughter…she’s the sole reason my polara hasn’t turned into a parts car and she’s begging me to bring home more from the junkyard. A rarity indeed.

My 10 yr old son is similar, though he’s less into the junk and more into the polished finished product.

The younger generation is there, just gotta expose them to it early.
