The best place to check on the health of the A and T part of the hobby is to ask the sellers of reproduction parts, what I have heard is that the T business is better than it has ever been, especially export and there are more unique items available now for A then at anytime. As for young people getting into A's or T's the best thing you can do is drive your car and answer every question as if it was the first time you heard it. Tell them if they're interested they should be able to buy a running Model A and never loose a dime on the purchase price if they learn values in advance. Gearheads are born everyday, not easily created.
