This doesn't match with reality. People like new cars with new safety standards and new technology. Old cars will get perpetually more expensive to fuel and maintain. Fuel standards will become stricter and those old cars will require testing and modifications (as is already the case). I have no doubt the hobbyists will find a way to keep their old cars as they always have. The rest of us don't want to be wasting our time and money keeping a 30-year-old car in decent condition.
