Its understandable listening to everyone’s perspective on this topic that each member’s oppinion is based on their demographic. My $0.02 is that the club needs to recognize that people growing up in the 70’s & 80’s relate to those motors differently than those seeing motors from the 50’s & 60’s as what they saw everyday in their youth years.

Frankly, IMHO, if the club doesnt adapt to the evolution of member demographics, there won’t be a club anymore in 20 years.

Myself and other chapter members have this conversation at every swap meet we attend. When less than 5% of your chapter’s membership is <40 Y.O., the facts speak for themselves.

I wonder, does the national office have demographic data on our club nation wide, and if so, why hasnt it been published in the magazine for all to see?

Anyway, the term antique and classic probably made sense at the time they were deemed but dont anymore. I vote they should be labeled based on calendar age. IE pre WW2, antique (>24years), and classic (over 15 years). Everything newer than 15 y.o. is still modern.
