I'm 50.....so does that make me an antique or classic? Jay (stretching this thread too far) Sexton Sebastopol, CA

I think terms as "vintage" "classic" are a moving target. If you are 15 yrs. old you think of the 80's (1980's) as OLD. This state considers an auto "antique" if it was made half way to 1900 from the current date or older. It changes every couple years. Advertising has always been rapid with colorful words to put a shine on a product. A buyer has to keep his mind / eye on the item, not the adjectives.
