There is hardly anything in second place. I almost never see a car like these for sale.

There are of course exceptions to every rule. However, in general (overall) the values are going down. There does seem to be an upturn for unrestored, so called "patina" vehicles.
Some cars will retain value better than others. It has always been the case that true #1 cars retain their value the longest and best compared to lesser examples. The reason again is supply and demand. The supply of true #1 cars is very slim. The demand seems to be fairly static. There will always be deep pockets that insist on owning the best. Still, even the true #1 cars have and will for the most part, continue to lose value.
Rest assured, I have sold many #1 restorations and have seen the peak. The "peak" was in the past.
