Losers and winners in times of Covid-19
It is clear that the coronavirus crisis will produce winners and losers. The number of losers will probably be significantly higher, while the winners will have to be looked for more closely. But it is certain that there will also be winners.
The question that concerns us as classic and modern car enthusiasts, however, is on which side the classic automobile will end up.
And it doesn't necessarily look good for the classic car, even though people like to look back nostalgically to the past, especially during and after difficult times. However, after the current almost car-free roads and cities, and the somewhat cleaner air associated with this, some political movements may have acquired a taste for the fact that cars are generally more of a nuisance than a benefit. Corresponding initiatives to limit vehicle traffic and traffic-calmed city centers were already underway before and it is unclear whether they will gain even more momentum in the future. And the historic automobile could then simply be drawn into the traffic prevention vortex with the mass traffic.
Let's hope that after Covid-19, when normality returns in 2021 or 2020, people will still enjoy old cars and motorcycles and they won't simply be banned from our roads ...
