I'm not sure we'll see an end. I just think it will keep transitioning. I see sport trucks coming back pretty big to a large extent. Radwood seems to be gaining in popularity with period correct builds, too.

Regarding raising the bar. I ran into Bob Johnson a few years back now. He brought out a super clean and heavily detailed 55 Chevy to Caffeine & Octane that was of course gorgeous. The freaking engine was entirely smoothed out for crying out loud. I asked him about G-Force Cuda and Battle Axe and how they compare to today. He said those two cars don't hold a candle to what's being built now. It really is insane the level of craftsmanship that is going on.

I can see electric power helping to draw attention to new areas previously not possible when dealing with an internal combustion engine. I think the sound and amazement of getting a mechanical wonder to work will be lost on many. Think about how many people are more impressed with the latest iPhone compared to any real, wind up watch/clock. No doubt the iPhone is impressive, but the watch blows my mind and keeps me enthralled more.
