What is the first vehicle you think of when you hear the term “Classic Car”?

All right...I'm old because I tried to google which classic car my dad used to like and saw that the definition for Classic Car means greater than 20 years (so before 2000) and that the age frame I was thinking of is now called Antique Car which is 1975 or earlier, not to be confused with Vintage car which is between 1919 and 1930. I think they're all classic in my opinion.

I think my dad used to like a Chevy Bel Air.

I doubt there is an official definition of "classic car." But here's mine: "A really cool car manufactured at least 50 years ago." Of course, "cool" is pretty hard to define, too!

Ones that immediately spring to MY mind....

1955 Mercedes 300 SL "Dual wing"
1960 Ferrari 250GT California
1938 Cord 812
1960 Jaguar E-Type
1965 Porsche 911
Any Duesenberg
1965 Shelby Cobra
