Add these up and you have loss of interest ......
I envision a huge glut of cars and parts becoming available as the boomers age. Cars and parts hoarded for many years will become available. Problem is, there will not be near as many who will want them or care....all those widowed granny’s be selling grandpas “junk” for pennies on the dollar...
Add In the new era of electric cars and this hobby may die sooner than later....
Why I’m getting some drive time now! I’m going to burn fuel and tires till I can’t anymore!

The fact is baby boomer kids by and large don't care about their dads cars and will auction or sell them. This massive number of sales will depress prices like we've never seen before. Double edge sword. Our hobby will die, but all the cars we've always wanted will be much easier to attain. Once I get my building up to store them all that is.
