Getting parts & services for "Classic" cars in 50 years won't be the issue, getting fuel & the permits to drive them will be.
In 50 years time petrol driven cars will be a tiny, tiny minority of those in existence, petrol stations will be a thing of the past. Add to that the legislation that is forcing all classics off the road, it has already started in Cities, suburban & rural roads will be next. It is only a matter of time before we will be ordering "petrol" in 50 litre cans for home delivery.
All us classic owners are already drinking in the "last Chance Saloon" there doesn't seem to be any real appreciation of this yet though.
There will in the next few years be a huge boom in electric drive kits for classic cars so people can continue to use them. Yes I know it sounds like crazy talk, but YOU JUST WATCH!
I for one plan on getting rid of all my road going classics over the next few years, with a couple of honourable exceptions, because when the penny finally drops the vast majority of "classic" cars will be worth absolutely diddly squat.
