Default Re: Navel gazing & the future of the car hobby

I watched a show on History Channel the other night, all about trucks in America. It was interesting and led creedence to Ford's recent announcement about cutting back on car/sedan production in America. People want SUV's, Crossover vehicles, and trucks. And Ford as we know has been #1 in truck sales for 40 years in a row.

Pickups are really strong. They talked about the Ford Raptor, how it is in a class all by itself and GM, Dodge, Toyota don't even have anything that comes close to comparing to it.

I see old truck values really climbing. Pre-war Ford-Chevy-Dodge trucks in original not rodded condition bring some good money at sale time. And the market for 60's-'70's pickups, good ones, is pretty hot. 80's pickups are getting pretty popular too.

This may be the trend for antique vehicles, following what is happening with today's vehicles that people want. I'd guess a good 1930's Chevy Suburban would be pretty desirable
