What Makes a Car a Classic?
A while back, we were strolling through rows of vintage cars and trucks at the Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals, when we fell upon a near-pristine 1983 Chevy Cavalier. We loved seeing the tidy GM J-body coupe; yet, we also heard folks express a feeling of melancholy over things like the ever-expanding car field due to the Goodguys’ rolling 25-year eligibility window and the legacy of the post-1970s automobile. It got us to thinking: What defines a classic car. We even wrote an entire article dedicated to that topic on our blog, OnAllCylinders.
