Interesting that Hagerty doesn't disclose what years "millenials" are getting quotes on. Are they getting quotes on "classics" from the 60's and 70's? Also, quotes don't mean they are buying or HAVE cars, many of them could be just window shopping. A more interesting metric would be how many policies were issues to millenials, and for what year ranges. That is FAR more telling than this fluff piece. If anyone thinks millenials are going to carry the torch of collecting pre-50's cars, they're delusional. This article is pretty eye opening: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2016/01/19/drivers-licenses-uber-lyft/78994526/
" Only 24.5% of 16-year-olds had a driver's license in 2014, down from 27.5% in 2011, 31.1% in 2008 and 46.2% in 1983, according to the University of Michigan report."
Let that sink in. Millenials simply don't have that same emotional attachment to cars, let alone DRIVING them. Of course there are many younger folks on this site that love old iron, but they are simply the exception rather than the rule. Growing up, I used to attend swap meets with my purist father, and he used to complain about "big tires and Chevy 350 intake manifolds" all over, as if they had no business being there. In my opinion, THAT is what is going to kill the pre-50's car collector market more than anything. Guys who see the newer stuff as a waste of time and deride the younger generation for wanting to collect 80's and 90's vehicles instead of the 1935 Ford that the boomer thinks is best. What a shame.
