historic vehicle
Antique mode of transport
A historic vehicle is an older car, truck, or motorcycle preserved for its age and collectibility rather than daily transportation.
Most jurisdictions define the category by minimum age—typically 25 to 30 years—and grant special registration status with reduced fees and inspection exemptions.
The designation assumes limited recreational use: He only drives the historic vehicle to car shows.
