Classic Cars
Classic Cars, as with anything termed “Classic”, defy an easy definition and are often enigmatically determined by whichever initiated fan with whom you may be talking.
Defining classic cars merely by age doesn’t work absolutely, as there are examples of later model vehicles widely considered as classics.

Insurance companies who specialize in older car’s are now accepting the fact that many newer models now attract a strong following; and are branding some cars over 10 years old as “modern classics” with pre-1980 cars usually approaching full “classic” status.
Some simply consider 25 years as a cut-off age for the term “Classic” since it’s extremely rare for a vehicle that old to still be owned or used without special consideration for its status (difficulty in servicing and maintaining).
The Classic Car Club of America’s definition of “Classic” is a “fine” or “distinctive” automobile, either American or foreign built, produced between 1925 and 1948. Generally, a classic auto was high-priced when new and was built in limited quantities.
The term “classic car” is now accepted as applying to any car over 15 years of age that has some fan base to draw upon, with one or two exceptions for truly interesting more recent automobiles that are predicted to attract a true fanatical following in the not-too-distant future.
