Old collectible car
A classic automobile is a car valued for its age, design, and historical significance rather than as everyday transportation.
Definitions vary—some require the vehicle be at least 25 years old, others 20 or 30—but the term generally implies a car worth preserving and appreciating: He restored a classic automobile from the 1960s.
Classic automobiles appear at car shows, in collections, and on specialty insurance policies that recognize their appreciating value.
