Is that Car Classic, Vintage, Historic, Antique or Exotic?

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- For example The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA), one of the largest and probably the most stodgiest, noses in the air club, has proclaimed that an antique car is at least 25 years of age or older currently functioning and restored to comply with the manufacturers original specifications. Of course with passing years that definition has been refined to include several classifications of vehicles. So even they can’t make up their minds.

In most circles the term antique is most often used interchangeably with the term classic when talking about older vehicles but some like to point out what they consider to be differences. In some circles it is and in some it isn't.

The Department of Motor Vehicles in most states have their own terms for what they consider an antique vehicle. Most do not agree with AACA in that they issue antique or historic license plates to any vehicle more than 25 years old. The owners of these cars can purchase less expensive insurance than they pay on a new car with mileage limits of course.

Here at "All About Detail Classic Car News" ( http://all-about-detail.blogspot.com/2011/01/welcome-to-a... )  we have our own opinion. We think that all cars are a form of art. Some like the Chevy Chevettes are more like pictures to put on Grandma’s refrigerator where as a Bugatti Type 51 should be on display at the Museum Of Modern Art Exhibits (MOMA http://www.moma.org/ ) . Anything that belongs in an art gallery, for reasons of pure beauty or due to their historical value, are to us are Masterpieces and  are "Classics".

 
Unlike AACA we include Exotic, Clones, and Custom within the definition of Classic Car.
