The ones who are winning in this scenarios are the classic car restorers and the new and used parts dealers. The availability of classic car parts has breathed new life into a segment of theindustry that was slow to grow in the past. It doesn't do much to rebuild the classic car restoration shop industry though since it is so easy to locate new or used parts. I still haven't seen restoration shops popping up or at least many of the once professionals returning to business. With every market shift however one leg of an industry dies while another grows.
