well people may say that a classic car is 20-30 years old, but would you buy a 20 year old car that you havent even heard of just to make a statement that it is classic.
It all depends on the badge on the car, Ford tend to have alot of classics whereas something like Rover wouldn't
what car are you thinking about and i may be able to tell you

I have several old cars and the classic car shows require your cars to be 20yrs. old. This year your car has to be 1987 or older and next year it will change to 1988 and older inorder to be on. I live in Ohio and it doesn't matter what condition or make but if you want any trophies the more original and older it is the better of a classic you have.

a car has to be about 30 or more years old to be a classic.

It's 25 years - but some cars are considered classic because of design or how many were made.

There are 2 classifications for collectables. At least here in BC, Canada. A vehicle can be either 15 years old or 25 years old depending on the classification you are looking for in terms of driving restrictions. A vehicle 25 years or older falls into a more strict category where the vehicle can only be driven during certain hours and must meet stock conditions for it's year of manufacturing. I believe it is all based on insurance rates and safety.

In Texas,a vehicle 25 years old or more can be registered as a classic,which means it can be used as a daily driver with unlimited mileage and still has to have a yearly safety inspection.You can also register a vehicle 25 or greater as an antique vehicle,which exempts it from safety inspections but limits the usage to 5,000 miles yearly.

Generally speaking, cars from the sixties would be considered classic. If you have vehicles from the thirties and forties, those would likely fall under antique guidelines. Some states issue plates, based on time frames, for example, collector vehicle plates, that are issued a number.

All classic cars started out as new - it's not about age

20 for a classic
15 for an Antique, ( I think).
According to the United States, a classic car is "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."
