When your classic car needs help, help is right here
A standard classic car definition is an older automobile with enough historical interest to be collectable and worth preserving or restoring rather than scrapping.
Cars 20 years and older typically fall into the antique class.
Post–Second World War "classic cars" are not precisely defined and the term is often applied to any older vehicle. People especially like to collect the classic Chevy Caprice, as well as classic BMWs and Hondas.
Buying, repairing and maintaining classic cars is a much different endeavor than doing it all for new models. That’s why thousands of owners and mechanics check with the Experts on JustAnswer.com. And you approve payment only when you’re completely satisfied.
