I can say based on experience that you are wrong. With about 400 old Pontiacs here, I sell vintage Pontiac parts and have plenty of customers in their 30s and 40s. They are hardly 'boomers'. I also have plenty of Pontiac friends in their 20s and 30s and 40s.
I even know of a bunch of young men in their late teens into 60s era cars.
There will always be interest in 60s era cars . I do see the interest changing though as less and less of the younger people care if it has original hose clamps, correct dates on things like starters and alternators, etc. There will be more interest in modifying these cars.
Yes, prices and interest with cycle up and down but, there will always be interest in 60s era cars and , thus, there will always be value in them.
Pure original restorations will stay primarily with the elderly.

The main problem with the hobby subsiding is most of us have our cars so cherry we have to park them in garages and drive a late model to work. We take our pristine vintage cars to car shows and sit in lawn chairs with people their own age.
What is wrong with that? Well, you are not exposing younger generations to these cars because they never get to see them. It is your ( their fault ).
I drive my 66 GTO daily regardless of weather and I tow with it. You would be surprised at the attention my old car gets from young people every day! Exposing younger generations to vintage cars is the smartest way to keep the hobby strong.
