In my humble opinion,... Unfortunately, I think the hobby will fade. Not only the car hobby but I see a huge shift in other hobbies as well such as gun collecting, antiques & collectibles collecting, etc. The younger generations do not have the love of this as the older ones do. Go to a show & look around at the average age of those atending & those displaying. Yes, there are a few younger people interested because their Dad is involved but look at the average age of everyone. The younger generations care about technology.... They want Blackberry, Ipod, the newest greatest cell phone, X Box, etc. They don't care about owning or collecting cars, guns, antiques, etc. As the older generations die, so does the market for these things. I have seen a huge drop/shift in the swords, guns & collectibles market. 10-15 years ago, swords & cowboy collectibles were at an all time high as the generation that was interested in them (The WWII generation) was still buying them & the market was huge. Slowly that market has died as the generation is passing & those that have not passed on are selling, not buying. Today, I can't give a Tom Mix poster away where as 10-15 years ago it was an easy $500. Yes, There are those that will be interested in Cobras but not nearly in the numbers there are today. So, in summary,...If you are into it, own it, enjoy it, drive it, smoke the tires off it, etc, as someday the only cobra you will see will be in a museum or............The Cobra in the Barn.
