I think plenty of young people like our older cars...just a week ago I was driving some two lane back roads and came upon a stretch where a car was behind me...I was only driving 45 mph, so after 10 minutes or so when they did not pass me I had an opportunity to pull to the side of the road and waved them by...instead they stopped beside me and the early 20's female driver leaned over and said: "I'd have been happy to follow you for another 10 minutes...I was just admiring your car!"....she had not seen a Model A out on the road and thought it was great that they could be driven.

As others have said...the hobby is not dying...just changing...there will be younger people to come along and pick up our vehicles....just need to give them time to learn!
