What’s The Definition Of A Classic Car?

Usually a classic car is one that is distinctive, unique and old. According to Wikipedia, “the Classic Car Club of America defines a CCCA Classic or is as a fine or distinctive automobile, either American or foreign built, produced between 1925 and 1959″, but, “The Antique Automobile Club of America defines an antique car as 25 years old or older.”

Most states in the USA will define “classic” by how long ago the car was built. For instance, “Legally, most states have time-based rules for the definition of “classic” for purposes such as antique vehicle registration; for example, Pennsylvania defines it as “A motor vehicle, but not a reproduction thereof, manufactured at least 15 years prior to the current year which has been maintained in or restored to a condition which is substantially in conformity with manufacturer specifications and appearance.”

If you meet the definition of a classic car in your area, you can get quotes for classic car insurance and see how they relate to insuring a modern car.
