Is your special ride considered classic, antique, vintage, collectible, modified, or simply old? That depends on whom you talk to.
How old is old?
The Classic Car Club of America defines a classic car as one built between 1925 and 1948 that was fine and distinctive when new. The Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) considers any roadworthy car at least 25 years old to be eligible for judging at AACA National Meets. The state of Texas will register your car as an antique when it is 25 years old, while California doesn’t consider your car an antique until it is at least 39 years old.
