Bob, your point about the base dying off and creating a recession in the demand is well illustrated by the "restored" vintage car hobby (sometimes wrongly called "classic" market). The guys who funded the hobby of pre WWII restored cars are passing and their heirs have no use for a '34 Nash or whatever. I believe that the demand for this segment has fallen....Fords and the like are the exception since a different group of buyers now want the restored Ford to make a hot rod. Similiarly, in the future, the muscle car guys will pass and their heirs will sell their inherited Hemis so they can buy a vintage rice-mobile.
