Interest in C&V bicycles rising or waning (or stable)?
I just got back from our annual Wavecrest Woody wagon meet --

and was surprised by the relatively low turnout. In years past the event has sated both the large upper and small lower Moonlight Beach parking lots, but this year about 1/3 of each lot was empty. They took a two-year COVID breather (so to speak), but did return last year. Other than a couple of families with young kids, most attendees, myself included, were about the age of the cars, i.e., circa 60 to 80 years old.
What signs are the rest of you seeing regarding interest in classic cars?
How does this translate to interest trends in classic bicycles?
How about resto-mods? More than half of the 1940s and early 1950s cars had been retrofitted with automatic transmissions and modern engines, many with disc brakes, locking steering columns, and power steering, as well. Of course we have seen various levels of resto-modding in our bicycle community.
