Re: Vintage or Antique?

[mini-motors]

The last thing I want to do is start an argument with a club that someday I’d like to join, but I would have thought that age was the determining factor, not manufacturing date. By these rules, a ’52 will be a classic, even 50 years from now. I see where this rule will keep out the "undesirables"(electronic ignition,etc), but I would think that someday, even an ’80 deserves the moniker, "antique". That’s assuming that gasoline will sill be legal 50 years from now.

But that does answer the original question, and either way, I’m happy. "Classic" does have a better ring to it over "vintage".
