classic automobiles
Collectible old cars
Classic automobiles are older cars valued for their historical significance, design, or craftsmanship rather than practical transportation.
The threshold varies—some define classics as vehicles at least 20 or 25 years old, while purists reserve the term for specific eras or models.
Enthusiasts restore, collect, and show them: He spent weekends working on classic automobiles.
The phrase often evokes American cars from the 1950s through 1970s, though it applies broadly to any vintage vehicle considered noteworthy.
