Can I short the custom classic car market?

Good call. Usually the price of things goes down as the supply goes down. When you find out how, let me know.

Sounds like someone got skulldrug by an old fart in a Chevelle..

I think the market trends since evolving away from Horse/Buggy would disagree.

Maybe you're that one brilliant dude that sees it coming?

True and false at the same time.

A bunch of folks long for the good old days and antique cars from their adolescence are part of this process.

So people aged 50-75 are doing this in 2016 for the model year cars when they were 15-20 years-old.

That equals 1956-1981 model year cars.

So in twenty years from now, you won't see many '56 Chevys but you'll see more 80s and 90s year model cars and the new "old arse people" with be gumming up traffic in Citations and Regals.

Thirty years ago there were many more Model Ts and Model As at these things. You don't see nearly as many 10s-40s cars as you did 20 years ago.

tl/dr: Natural aging demographics.

One day my 2009 5 series will be classic! I'm going to be 70 and I'm going to drive that fricker slow as shite.

You drive around in that with a horrible car show t-shirt on? Good to know that the guy who created Big Johnson t-shirts still has a job.

I'm driving my souped up Camaro around with a tank top and flip flops on

BSL is a cluster today.
