30 year rule on Car Shows?
 
I wish the powers to be would change the year reuirement to say 20 years old or more. The only other requirement would be a 'classic'. I've got an 03 Ford Thunderbird a true classic:MOJE_whot:

In Florida, for example, vehicles must be at least 30 years old to qualify for antique or historic designation.
Be patient it’s only another 8 years

That's still NEW. Generally 25 years old is the norm for classic and antique car clubs.

A 20 year old 2003 car is a lot different than a 20 year old 1940s model was back in 1960.

Cars today last forever. 300,000 - 400,000 miles is not unusual today. Back then 100,000 miles and your car was junk.

I hope I’m dead before the day when an electric vehicle qualifies for the car show.

I’d take a 1940-50 car before the junk they make now. Cars don’t last as long as you say. Made of plastic.

The recent Tbirds are not classics to me. The 1955-1957 Tbirds are of course classics.

I don't view a car as a classic unless it over 50 years old.

No one checks the year of your car.

You've posted that whine numerous times in this forum - do you think the organizers might see it and just act on your desire from this?

Why don't you contact the organizers directly to discuss the possibility and then you'll have your answer to your wishes.

:confused: So, the 3rd. Sat. next month I can enter my 2022 Sonata? Or do they ask the year and you can lie and nobody will check. Or maybe some other way to break the rules..... I get so confused. I can never remember which rules are OK to break and which we have to follow. I find it easier to just try and follow all them. As they say "Your mileage may vary" :rolleyes:

People seem willing to argue about anything. A great villages business. We card everyone equally.

McDonalds-a rude awakening when the zit faced kid gives you a senior coffee and does not ask you to prove your age.

And then there is always a smart @ $ $ or sarcastic reply from such a do gooder.

So I assume that you're driving a 1945 Packard?

Today's cars are much safer and better built that cars of the past. They are safer and have many more features. You would never have expected a car in the 50s to go 200,000 miles.
