1958-1969 for cars and music.

I’d stretch to 1973 for music, but leave the cars right there.

2005 or so through now for beer. I could do without all the dank or “west coast” IPAs but there are lots of other choices too.

Comes and goes - old computers namely the Commodore 8-bits. Back in the day the golden age was the 80s (yeah ran a users group and BBS), but lately it's got a renaissance with a lot of emulators, 3rd party advanced devices like wifi modems, SD-Card drives, and even hardware enhancements/re-creations. Lots of you tube videos highlighting repairs, history and other resources.

I've noticed interest comes and goes in waves - one year people are ridding of their stuff and its great to collect... a few years later interest pics back up and you get some new hardware/information, etc.
