What is a Classic Car?

While definitions vary, A Classic is a "fine" or "distinctive" automobile, either American or foreign built, produced between 1925 and 1948 although at many American classic car shows, automobiles typically range from the thirties to sixties. "Classic" cars at these shows seldom go beyond 1972. Any cars from 1973 onward are usually defined as "modern customs", "exotics", or "collectibles".

Legally, most states have time-based rules for the definition of "classic" for purposes such as antique vehicle registration; for example, Most states define it as "A motor vehicle, but not a reproduction thereof, manufactured at least 20 years prior to the current year which has been maintained in or restored to a condition which is substantially in conformity with manufacturer specifications and appearance."

The Antique Automobile Club of America defines an antique car as 45 years old or older. A Classic as 20-45 years old.
