I have given this a lot of thought lately as a lot of the people who are currently involved with antique cars in general are, frankly, dying off and there are just not many of us old school guys left who can teach the old ways.

I tend to think the best way is to get the neighborhood kids involved if you are working on your car, give rides, offer the use of the cars for birthdays, weddings, etc.

Basically, good old fashioned promotion by actually engaging the kids directly.
