An antique car is a vehicle that is typically at least 25 years old and is often valued for its historical significance and unique design. These cars are usually well-preserved or restored to maintain their original appearance and functionality. Antique cars can include various makes and models, showcasing the evolution of automotive technology over the decades. Collectors and enthusiasts often participate in events such as car shows and auctions to celebrate and trade these vintage vehicles. Organizations like the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) promote the preservation and appreciation of antique cars, helping to keep automotive history alive for future generations.
