Something else that I have wondered about. There is lots of social media and YouTube videos of folks rescuing old cars and getting them running again. These are quite popular. Paul Shinn has a popular series on the Model A, which he claims is helping increase MAFCA membership. These are good for the hobby. Regardless, let's enjoy our cars by working on them and driving them. I just returned from driving my 51 Ford to Maine for the AACA Eastern Division tour. A lot of fun and my car did great.

Paul and his videos are great! He was a huge help when I put this one together and back on the road after being stashed away for about fifty years.
And while the membership has in fact gone up, values of Model A's have dropped.
Heck, a beautifully restored roadster can't hit $25k these days.
