For cars, there tend to be lots of reliable aftermarket parts, especially for high wear items like brake shoes and windshield wipers. For everything else, there’s the local junk yard.
You can still get Model T parts from J.C. Whitney.

Agree. I was just looking up the availability of parts for EMP-proof cars (i.e., early 70s and prior). It seems easier to find parts for them than it does for my late-model non-UAW cars.
