I'm not the least bit apt to believe that age has anyhting to do with ANY type of car ownership nor any collectible ownership encouragement. Only exception mite be an age preference among very late model cars. Over 40 set an SUV, under 40 set a small car. And i see alot of exceptions to that.

A gearhead is a gearhead whether age 15 or age 150 years old. The only difference is recollection of memmories. But fond memmory is strictly an enthusiast level interst. After all, how many 60 years olds have any kind of vintage car or collectible unless it is something just left over from decades past of life???

We have to seperate life experience from any affinity toward any collectible(s).

On the other hand is social-econ trend shifts in the entire population. For the general population and historically the automobile of ANY kind represented an adventure. Over the last decade or two it has become something more utilitarian, kind of like a home appliance. BUT gearheads will always be gearheads.
