Nyack Chamber of Commerce‘s Classic Car Night July 20, 2023

Published

Classic Car Club of America defines a classic as a “fine” or “distinctive” automobile built between 1915 and 1948. However, for registration purposes, many states would consider cars of that age to be antique or vintage automobiles.

How Old is an Antique Car? Most antique cars are at least 25 years old, but some can be as old as 100 years. Antique cars are generally classified as those that were manufactured before the start of World War II. However, some antique car collectors consider any car that is more than 20 years old to be an antique.

If a car was manufactured after 1980, it is considered a collector car. A new generation of classic car buyers and sellers is coming to the market, and the term “classic car” is starting to include cars from the 80s and 90s.

Visit Memorial Park to see hundreds of rare, antique, vintage, and iconic vehicles. Make an evening of it exploring Nyack’s unique shops, then have dinner in one of Nyack’s fabulous restaurants.
