Not necessarily. Some of the affordable sports cars from the 1960s are now seeing an increase in price because they are more than 50 years old and don't have as many survivors among the fleet. They're still not exceeding their original value adjusted for inflation, but someone who managed to pick up a '60s MGB for $500 at the bottom of its value in the late '70s and has kept it from rusting may not be in a bad spot now. The Volkswagen is the poster child for affordability, but there are some specific models of VWs that bring pretty big bucks if you can find them.
We don't have any models that are weird enough and scarce enough to achieve that, though. Maybe if you wait until around 2022 and pick one up cheap, then hold it until 2070, you'd get a positive return on the investment.
