Is the number of older or classic cars on the road increasing?

[Envi XR8]

hi all,

Over the last couple of months I have noticed that there are more classic or older cars on the road. Most are in very good condition, either restored or original, and lot have young drivers; not the sterotypical old guy and the missus out for a Sunday drive.

Last week I kept track of these to see if I was just dreaming it, or if it was real. I didn't go out of my way to find older cars (such as club events etc) just driving to and from work, and on other errands etc.

Tuesday morning I saw a Drifter Val Panelvan. On the way home the same day I saw a CM Val Station wagon and later on the same trip a CM sedan.
Wednesday mornig I saw a Datto 1000, an AP5 Val, a HX/Z Tonner, and following it a WB Tonner. In the after noon A ZJ Fairlane.
Thursday morning I saw a early to Mid 70's vintage BMW (with an automoter tacho!)and a '30s vintage Euro (not a hot rod) Possibly French or British.
Yesterday I saw 2 EHs. Last week, before keeping track I spotted a HK Belmont and a Torana. There is an XB that goes past me some days on the way to work, but I have not seen that for a month or 2. There was another EH getting around about 3 weeks ago, I saw it on both days of the weekend, with 3 girls in it, cruising around.

I think these cars have been in storage while old people owned them and as the original owners are passing away and leaving them to a younger relative, they are hitting the streets again, as they are retro and cool, which is good to see. Now I am a Ford man, to the core, but I get a real thrill out of seeing these old ladies on the roads again, regardless on make.

Thought I'd see if anyone else has had the same thing happen, and what have you seen. it might be fun to have a Classics Spotted thread maybe. I would love to hear what others have seen.

cheers
