It's interesting to think about it in reverse, and consider what people will be restoring in years to come, or what will be considered made very well now, that in the future will be made cheaply.
Think about the year 2040. Will people remember those well-made iPods, yearn for the days of Windows 2000, or do a ground-up restoration on a Hyundai Elantra?
When talking about the collectibles of the future, I predict two things will become very desirable: sneakers and import hatchbacks. Cars like the Acura Integra and Subaru Impreza are destined to become the next '57 Chevys, and if you want to have some cash onhand for retirement, buy a pair of purple leather Jordans and stash them in a box in your closet. I came across a rare pair of UK market orange suede Puma California sneakers at a thrift recently, in great shape. I always keep my eyes out for mint and unusual sneakers when I go thrifting.
