When I think of boomer cars, I think of cars from the mid-50's to early 70's. Packards are more of a goyest/silent generation thing because they were already "old" by the time boomers came on the scene.
Regardless of what generation collects what era of cars, there will always be a waning interest in older stuff the younger generations have no social/emotional/familial connections to. There's also a lot of people in the hobby that take themselves way to seriously and like to make themselves feel better about themselves by being jerks to younger people and then bitching about how the younger generations suck because they just don't want to hang around old boomers that think engine technology peaked with dual-point distributors.
It's the same mentality that made the Clint Eastwood movie *Grand Torino* so popular with the boomers. They would rather bitch and moan about how shitty the younger generations are while they hand off the keys of society to anybody and everybody except their own offspring. Of course, the fact that younger generations are the product of the older ones completely escapes them.
