Of certain parts, yes. Ford will never go back and make a fender for a 67
mustang. Once they are gone it's after market junk, salvage, or make your
own. It costs a lot to tool up to make a million parts. It costs the same
tool up to make 10 thousand in a lot of cases. Upgrading your product is
actually planned obsolescence. When proper repair parts are no longer
available the product gets thrown away.

With the unique exception of pianos, which people will avoid taking to the
dumps at all costs, rat infestation and all.
