I believe people in the US care about history, but it's around the person, legend, myth, not around objects.

I think that's because they're relatively common, affordable, usable, and easy to preserve. There's one Girl with a Pearl Earring made of canvas but millions of wood and metal Lee-Enfield rifles. Cars seem like they'd be similar but I don't know any car collectors. I've also heard of antique furniture auctions, very curious what those collectors are like.
