This isn't strictly limited to classic OEM configured army vehicles... classic car industry as a whole is going this way.... but even bigger picture....
Harley Davidson - has failed to bring in their younger riders (average age is now knocking on 49 years old) [Yup from 42.1 in 1999]
Hunting - Up until recently it was on a major decline but has leveled off in Registrations/New Hunter Certs [fishing has remained steady surprisingly]
Trades - Majority of journeymen across the spectrum of trades is a grey hair... My guess is the simple demand and then consequent salary will eventually close up this gap.... In the mean time expect a simple plumbing visit to be $200+ for 20 min - hour of service.
Only thing constant is change
