[DeTomaso] Documentation of Panteras increased value

I'm sure this discussion happened in the 1980s when the crowd that loved 1920s and 1930s cars started to pass away.
Yet, those cars are still valuable now.
Bugattis are owned by guys in their 60s, yet they were made long before any of them were born.
I have cars that were made before I was born as well.
There is a lot more exposure for old cars in general today than there has ever been. The age group that was born after a particular type of car was made will have an appreciation for them through FB, Youtube, Pinterest, etc.
Who knows what will happen in the next few decades though...

How about the cars like a '32 Cadillac16 cyl? Cars that fall in that caliber, I would think are worrying about who will become the future caretakers.

I can see Senate hearings to ban sports cars because they represent what is wrong with youth.
