Hi Chris and Scotty
You both are bring up a problem in the MV collectors hobby, and in many other parts of the antique vehicle hobby. I got into antique cars before I had a drivers licenses 1965, which was fairly common with the other guys my age. Our fathers I think bought us the old Model As and 34 Fords in complete but run down condition (did not run) I think as a way of keeping us busy and making us appreciate the car when we got them running. This doesn't seem to happen much anymore, gone pretty much along with the shade tree mechanic.
When I got into military vehicles in 1978 majority of the club was the same age give or take a few years, now the majority of the club is still my age. So most of us are smart enough to reach out to the young new member we need them to keep the club going.
Hagerty Insurance Company has a pretty good newsletter and website and they commonly have articles about the issue of the aging of the collectors.
