How are old cars or trucks defined ?
Is it a Classic or is it a Vintage or is it something else ?
This is the definition of 'Classic' from the CCCA.........
According to the CCCA (Classic Car Club of America) the term refers to cars made between 1925-1948; these cars have all the model options of the time, were made in limited numbers, displaying superior craftsmanship. The list, however, does not include all cars. For instance, a Bentley or Alfa Romeo made during this time is a classic, while only certain Jaguars would be considered a classic.
This is the CCCA definition of 'Vintage'.........
A vintage can be any car from any year that is at the head of its class; generally, it means an old car, usually in the luxury category, in very good condition. For example, a 1956 VW beetle is not a classic but a vintage car.
Please remember that these are just the definitions or opinions of this particular club and is just one example.
As I said in another post, cars are like art, its all in the eye of the beholder! |
