My daughter had a senior photo shoot yesterday and the samples we got were stunning. How many other have kids that enjoy a classic Mopar in their lives!

Unfortunately she is the one who is hooked on technology, trust me it is in her back pocket!... The other one is not.

cool shot
nice looking ride
nice appearing young lady too
nice she's involved with building the cars too
well done
-----------------------------------------
a couple of my girls were into Jeeps & 4x4's
a couple others couldn't care less about cars
but they are all married to car/truck/4x4 dudes
my son likes Japanese cars, fast & furious
he has an older 90's Mitsubishi Turbo Eclipse,
that sits for ever while he's deployed at sea
I raised my nephew & he's is into muscle cars,
he's not a real good mechanic, but he tries & he shows interest
he's going to inherit my cars when I kick the bucket, if I still have any
the girls or my boy don't really care, they know I love them & support me...
they all will be taken care of
they all (especially the girls) were taught how to maintain a car too

I really love seeing young people get enjoyment out of the old iron! She’s a doll on top of it!

Congrats to the both of you ! Nice looking Duster,
The time you guys spent on that she will never forget.

From the look of the photos, it looks like she was really hands on and took a real interest in working on it with you. That’s just awesome. Good on you for documenting with photos too. You made some great memories there together. There is hope for the younger generation after all!
The end result paint colors look bitchin’ by the way.

This is a subject that has genuinely concerned me for some time now - what happens to all the nice restored old rides in the future?
All it seems like we see from the millennial generation is a love for fast n furious type cars, it seems like.
Are there enough young people with a genuine interest in old cars to actually sustain/maintain what has been done before them... or do all our collective efforts get forgotten and the cars return once again to the earth?
Even worse, do they instead feel the need to "mod" the living hell out of all of them to the point there are no
more accurate examples of what these cars were when new?
I don't have children, so there's nobody to pass mine on to; perhaps a step-grandkid, but they're in another part of
the country and their daddy likes late 90's Camaros, so there's not much hope there, either.
Given my own personal mortality lessons of late, this decision will need to be made sooner rather than later if
I'm being a responsible steward of what I've built.

I have 2 girls. My oldest is now 40 and the youngest is 32. Cars aren't their thing.I too have no one to leave my toys to,BUT they are happy that they are worth $$$ as I did a thing called transfer upon death and titled everything to them when I'm gone.

I read an article on the Hagarty site. They say that the number of young people getting classic car insurance for classic cars is rising exponentially. I don't think the interest in old cars will disappear, what may be disappearing is the skills to restore them in the next generation. I do know the value of them will likely go down as the generation that grew up when they were new have memories and emotions attached to them are gone.
Never fear old iron will be passed on and held on too. Or might turn them into flippers. But the hobby will never die. The jap thing may be in for now but wait till the hell cats come of age. These cars will be the new old muscle cars. Yes our cars will return to dust just like the owners but you got more than a car you built a life style of memories.

My daughter and her family love the old iron and will happily take on the responsibility when I'm done. I apologize in advance but I must remain incognito.
