I don't see this as a decline happening,but more as a wider division in the market occurring.The really well done quality restorations,as well as rare or unique documented vehicles are asking AND getting top dollar today,and rightly so.
It seems to me that the driver quality,less attention to detail and more commonly produced vehicles that were once riding the financial coat tails of their better blessed brethren are now the ones that are having trouble selling at prices that are no longer seen as acceptable.
