The sad thing is that millennials do not have any connection to antique furniture or antiques in general. The antique market is dying. Everything they have is viewed as temporary and can just be walked away from if needed.

The same is true with the classic car market. Millennials view cars as a piece of transportation, in the same way you might view a refrigerator. A car does not say anything about you. In the next 20 years you will see hot rods and restored classics being given away.

They have also never heard the wonderful sounds old shortwave radios make as they are tuned onto s station. Not one student in my high school class had even heard of a vacuum tube. (I teach embedded computing, no Arduino allowed.)

They buy “old looking” distressed crap and think it’s cool. I know lots of millennials that are into cars and classic cars. But they are all retro-sexuals too and are techs that work with their hands.

I have never viewed a refrigerator as a piece of transportation.

So do I,and I’m the grandmother of a couple of millennials.

A car is something reliable to get me from Point A to Point B——no more,no less.

Not sure where you hang your hat, but maybe it's just a New England thang. :) It seems that the further west you go, on this fruited plain, interest in antiques wains. Everything must be new.

Here in NE, we grew up with hand-me-downs ....furniture that was too good to part with.

I take exception with your observation about classic cars. Here in NE, perhaps for the reasons stated above, There will continue to be market for classic cars.

I happen to use one as my daily driver, and I must say, not one trip into town ever misses someone commenting about my ride. My glove box is testament to the the post-it notes and business cards, saved, from people who want to buy it when I am ready to sell.

Maybe I'm living on another planet. I dunno. But life is fun.
