<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 117209, member: 878&quot;]My apologies. #1. For the HE/SHE error. I hope to remember.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2. I always thought 25 years to qualify for antique status on a car. Surprised when I saw the below statement saying 20. &quot;Just because it&#039;s in print doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s true.&quot; Is a unquestionable correct statement, not just because it&#039;s printed here.</p><p>I scrolled your attachment to about page 5 and it very clearly says 25 years is the criteria. I&#039;m going to reset that part in my memory box.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT, there may be a lot of folks out there relying on this --------------copied and pasted=========================</p><p><br /></p><p>When you have an <b>antique car</b> that you are considering restoring or registering as a classic car in your state, there can be some important questions about what makes a vehicle qualify as an antique car. This guide makes use of the standards employed by the <a href="http://www.aaca.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.aaca.org/" rel="nofollow">Antique Automobile Club of America</a> (AACA), the largest antique auto club in the United States. The following list will help you determine if you vehicle is an antique car by AACA standards.</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li><b>Antique cars are those older than 20 years of age</b>. In order to be considered an antique car, a vehicle must be over 20 years of age. However, the requirements to register a vehicle as an antique vary by state, so specific questions should be geared to your state&#039;s department of motor vehicles.</li> <li><b>Antique car classification is subjective.</b> The classification of antique cars is a subjective art at best, with the term broadly meaning any vehicle that is older than 20 years of age. While the term is normally connected with speciality vehicles or those that have a special place in American history or culture, any 20 year old vehicle is technically an antique. Joining or contacting a group like the AACA can put you in touch with experts who will help you classify your vehicle.</li> <li><b>A vehicle need not be restored to be an antique.</b> Although a vehicle classified as an antique will be worth more if it is restored, an expensive restoration is not a requirement for classification as an antique. Similarly, if you choose to register your vehicle as an antique in your state, there are no requirements for the vehicle to be restored.</li> </ol><p><span style="color: #0000b3">I don&#039;t care what that says, <u>Mr. Desperate fun is correct.</u> 25 years wins. </span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
