Not at all a factor.

Collector cars are and have always been generational. '60s musclecars will fade just as Model Ts, early Ford V-8s, '50s Hudson Hornets did. Subsequent generations have other interests.

At some point supply will exceed demand.

Buying a car sure beats tying your money up for 1/2 years with a blistering half a percent interest in the bank .

Or having Wells Fargo lose a big chunk of it.

I would rather drive my money around then watch it disappear in some wall street investment.

I think inflation helps increse the price of any collectible or any thing else I assume.

Possibly the greatest statement ever.

Yes, ultimately inflation will push price levels higher, even for old cars. And with the dollar so cheap you will see more of them going overseas.
