This is my view as well. Today’s vehicles are awash with integrated electronics that are very specific to the vehicle and tend to have relatively short production runs. They also tend to degrade over time when exposed to heat and humidity (i.e. being outside).
In Response To: The antique fire truck club I belong to brings his 1909 Hale pumper to our annual muster, and pumps from a local river for hours. ()

Conversely, just about any 1960s car can be rebuilt and kept running with comparatively far less dedicated parts, and the rest of the car is simple enough that most parts can be made by a talented and dedicated hobbyist.

So… never say never, but IMHO it’s more likely that there will be more 1960s Chevys in existence 56 years from now than 2020s Teslas.
