The Classic Car is generally
defined as over 25 years of age as
defined by the Antique
Automobile Club of America.
It is often used synonymously with antique car, but (in the United States) the formal definition of the term has it as applying only to certain specific high-quality vehicles from the pre-World War II era.
Twenty-five years is almost double the design life of modern cars and an even greater increment on those cars now 25 years old; therefore, a car that has reached 25 is a rare survivor, and often not economical to maintain as regular transportation.
Owning, restoring and collecting antique cars are a popular hobby worldwide.
