Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2006Classic Car Question?
There's an answer at 8:00AM this morning at 404-943-1620 or 866-356-0789 at radiosandysprings.com also an oil, filter and lube job at less than half price. This is for you folks in Sandy Springs, GA that love cars like I do! Does Steve know cars? He has a Model A and T, Avanti, 39 Cad, MG-TD and more and works for a major manufacturer and has all his working days. He's good and you'll enjoy listening I do. > There's an answer at 8:00AM this morning at 404-943-1620 or > 866-356-0789 at radiosandysprings.com also an oil, filter and lube job [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > and has all his working days.

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.

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... JT (Who ain't no stinkin' classic...

Yet) 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. > 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.
