Re: Vintage or Antique?

[frankr]

I thought (maybe wrongly) that the dividing line was 1949 and older for antiques because that was when alternate firing twins and "modern" conveniences like gear shifts started showing up. In any case, there has been much debate over the subject. Some people don’t like the 1970’s motors with Electronic ignition etc. being included. But hey, they are "old" by a whole generation’s thinking.

In Florida, a boat is an Antique if 30 years old. Free state registration, but the county tax collector gets a fee for the annual sticker.
