Yep, like fire trucks and military trucks, everybody likes them. But, few people buy them.
How many kids nowadays can maintain an old Power Wagon? Kids in general aren't as interested in cars as we were. This is reflected in the dropping percentage of teenagers getting their drivers licenses.
Eventually, the only people working on cars will be the trained technicians and the old hobbyist.
As cars become even more reliable, aluminum replaces steel and computers control everything, there will be little interest in repairing cars as a hobby.
