vintage car
Old collectible vehicle
A vintage car is an automobile from an earlier era, typically at least 20-30 years old, valued for its historical interest, craftsmanship, or nostalgic appeal.
Enthusiast organizations apply specific date ranges—often 1919-1930 for "vintage" proper, with "classic" and "antique" covering other periods—but casual usage treats these terms loosely: He restored a vintage car from the 1960s.
The phrase suggests care and collectibility rather than mere age.
