A lot of what drives this market are the baby boomers ( 1945 to 1962) with $
hitting retirement age. I suspect the high auction prices are just a result
of two guys trying to show the room who is bigger. If they were not at a auto
auction, they would be in Vegas dropping big money. _ It is all for show_.
It stands to reason American cars ( street rods and muscle cars ) would be
more popular now because they were more popular when these people were young. A
quick scan the production figures for USA built cars and imports will tell the
tale.
Buy what you like and can afford, then drive.
