Having a car that old and keeping it in running, road-worthy shape, seems like a pretty dumb thing to do if you can't keep it maintained yourself, unless you're Jay Leno (and he does a lot of his own work actually despite his wealthiness). You're making yourself utterly dependent on service workers who are very hard to find. Hobbies are great and all, but that's when you're the one actually doing the hobby, not just hiring someone else to do the hobby for you. Doing your own crochet or knitting isn't exactly efficient compared to just buying something machine-made, but I can understand the satisfaction it gives someone to hand-make something like that. However, you don't see any crochet or knitting enthusiasts paying other people to do that work for them; the whole point for them is to do it themselves. Usually, the only people I see who like ancient cars like that, but who don't actually work on them themselves, are extremely wealthy and have significant private collections. Not just some regular middle-class guy.
