It isn't the same. Most old cars aren't rare models, but models that were decently popular, and a lot are ones that defined the style of the time and/or hold up well enough to meet some popular beauty standards. Heck, my own car has less than a decade to go to hit that 30 year mark and we just buy cheap cars. Most are certainly not an exotic car, in no small part because most cars are not exotic. Which is realistically a reason fairly poor folks can have an old car.
