13: Specialty Parts
The specialty parts market catering to the hot rod and restoration crowd is also hurt by the current situation. Because a vast majority of these customers live in rural areas, it’s hard to get parts to them. Without the ability to order online and with retailers closing up shop, things are difficult. Specialty parts account for a good portion of the automotive marketplace, so not being able to access those obviously affects drivers.
The restoration market will end up being hurt by this for sure, and you might have trouble finding classic parts for some time into the future.
