Hmmmm, since virtually nothin' mentioned above qualifies as a "classic"
car with the possible exception of the Caddy (if not modified), what's
this message doing in a Honda group?

BTW, the only worthwhile car mentioned would be the Avanti...

Depends on your definition of "Classic". A "FULL Classic" is anything made
from 1925 to 1948, and which has historical significance.

There are lesser definitions of "Classic" that may well capture all the
OP's examples.

This can turn into a real pissing contest.

Since I own a 1931 Studebaker President State coupe which is a "Full
Classic," and the term, "Classic Era," is generally defined as pre-war
from about 1927 on. Vehicles manufactured after the war would fall under
antique, special interest, Milestone etc. An exception is certain
Lincolns that were made right after the war but still retained the pre
war styling. "Full Classics" are those cars accepted by CCCA by votes.
Post war designations are the Milestone cars in much the same way.

Of course, anyone can call anything any name they wish. It just doesn't
necessarily mean it's correct.

I just get riled when someone compares my car to a model A...

ok, semantics. are we talking "classic" as in just old, or are we
talking "classic" as in superlative design destined for immortality? if
the latter, the crx mkII is clearly a classic.

Many people have an informal, very loose definition of a "classic" as
anything in good shape that's over 25 years old. That's not accurate, but
it seems to be widespread.

Then what's your source for the '27 and up assertion? The CCCA says exactly
what I said: selected '25 to '48 models.

Not trying to start a pissing contest here, just wondering.

I said "about 1927..." Are we over pedantic today?
