I suspect what you are seeing Chris, is the twilight of the Baby Boomer generation, buried within which was a significant number who saw the value in saving/collecting these vehicles decades ago.

You are probably on the right track that yes, they were not able to restore all the vehicles they obtained, for any host of reasons, but they were successful in saving them, for at least their lifetimes. Now, they or their estates have to let them go. Kudos to them now for still trying to get them into the hands of new people to perhaps restore them, or at least keep them saved for a little time longer.
