That's certainly been the case with the original generation of American muscle cars built roughly between 1964 and 1972, and the baby boomers they were marketed to.
But with the Boomer generation now aging well into their senior years and Gen X and Millennials making up a large part of the car hobby, there's been some speculation that the popularity of vintage muscle cars may be on the decline. Indeed, a lot of those younger enthusiasts tend to like cars from more recent eras, but data shows that the appeal of the classic American muscle car stretches beyond the Boomers.
Defined simply by the passage of time, the iconic American muscle cars of the '60s and '70s could easily be classified as antiques — a term that once, and for many still does, bring to mind images of cars with tall, wooden wheels, puttering engines, and rumble seats. While those more traditional antique vehicles have their historical significance and hobbyist following, there aren't too many 30, 40, and 50-year-olds into Model T Fords and Packards today. Vintage muscle cars, though, continue to be relevant and desired by people much younger than their original target market.
