** Hundreds of half century old Chevrolets and others will be auctioned off in September. Many of the vehicles have less than 10 miles on them...

*Got a friend over here who loves and owns quite a few American monsters, will pass this on.

*One thing tho'....and it certainly is a picky thing, don't think you can call anything an antique until it's 100 years old....I think classic car is more apt.

*When I grew up in Canada, my Dad's first car was a '58 Chevy, we also had an Impala at some point and my favourite was a Chrysler Newport.....my Mum used that and my Dad had a little English Hillman Imp as a run around.....we called it the put-put car and I hated being seen in it....dunno why, would love to have one now...

===Definitions vary widely! Did you see the 85 year old 1928 Durant family car? Would you call that an Antique or a Classic...???
"Perhaps the most important legal definition comes from state law. States provide special license plates and registration for antique vehicles. In order to qualify, though, cars must meet certain criteria. These rules vary from state to state. In general most put the cut-off dates somewhere between 15 and 30 years old (but 25 is most common). In other words, to qualify a car needs to be at least 15 years old or older. There are usually rules about driving limitations (similar to insurance rules) involved, too. Check with your state's DMV for specific details."
