I know that my interest has never had anything to do with what is popular, and what is not. And I'm lucky that two out of my five children like fooling with the stuff. When it comes to old stuff, seems trends bounce back and forth. Ford Model Ts were real popular 20 years ago - when many still had direct memory of them in farm and family use. Same sort of thing now with 60-70s muscle cars. But, regardless - I'm not finding 1918 Ford Models Ts selling a lot cheaper now, with less interest. Just weans out the field a bit, and those that are truly interested - stay interested. Those who jump into it because it's a fad, quit. We've had a lot of . . . what used to be good old fashion tractor shows and meets - that got ruined over the past 10 years. That because many of the "hands-on" sort of guys did not get along well with the newer types who went out and bought pre-restored tractors with matching trucks and trailers to pull them with - yet never got their own hands dirty - and often didn't know a thing about the tractors they'd bought. I'm not saying they're all like that, but plenty are. l stoppped going to several shows for that reason - I'd rather just stay home and play with my stuff right here. It would be fine with me if shows became half the size and twice as interesting.
