What do you guys think? You think our cars are going to be classics in 2059?

No. The days of classic cars being produced are gone thanks to the freakin' government regulations.

Yeah, I think they will. I mean, they made around 150k (i don't know the actual #, but it's a lot) units in 1964/65 and those are classics, so I don't see why they wouldn't be. Of course, in 2069 you won't be able to drive them because combustion engines will probably be outlawed and we'll all be getting around on bubble powered hovercrafts!

Maybe we'll be distilling our own gas like moonshine since it'll be outlawed but yeah I think the limited ones will be worth something.

No way, there won't be any men in 50 years only females, so if I were you guys I'd invest in Mini-vans.

If everything really goes hybrid/electric, then yeah these are classics. So is the camaro, challenger, corvette - and all the other strong muscle cars out there. We might be the last generation.
