I discovered a new niche in Japan, classical cars. This past Sunday my wife and I decided to take a long walk in a local park. The minute we entered it, I felt like I had entered a time warp. At 9 AM there were already 200 or so vintage cars (mostly 1950s’ variety parked on a grassy stretch). The only thing that was missing were cute girls in miniskirts roller skating to car windows with hamburger orders.
The classic definition of a “hot market” is a large group of fanatic consumers gobbling up all products or services in a given niche. Most definitely these car owners – some private owners and many running small import car dealerships and garages – are a hungry market. Parts for classic muscle cars are expensive and so is finding a qualified mechanic.
When I was young we used to mock young people who loved car mechanics as being “grease monkeys.” Nowadays, here in Japan, there is a growing demand for such geezers with a good knowledge of repairs and cheap, accessible car parts.
