2. The Definition of a ‘Classic’ Car
The definition of a ‘classic’ car in travel blogger and photographer Richard Lide’s
home state of North Carolina may vary from those of other states, as each state
uses rules based on time for the label of historic or antique car.

3. Maryland, for example, defines a historic vehicle
as 20 years or older which “must not have been
substantially altered, remodeled or
remanufactured from the manufacturers original
design." West Virginia specifies that vehicles
must have been manufactured at least 25 years
prior to the current year to be ‘classic’.

4. American classic car shows are the perfect venue for vintage car lover Richard
Lide to practice his photography skills. In these shows, autos generally range
from the 1920s to the 1970s, although recent inclusions are horseless carriages
from the 1980s and even the 1990s.

5. Some examples are the Chevrolet Bel-Air, the Ford Model T, the Dodge Charger,
the Ford Deuce Coupe and the 1949 Ford. Some shows feature what they refer to
as ‘modern customs’ or ‘exotics’ which can include the AMC Gremlin or the Ford
Pinto. Prestigious autos like the Cadillac V16 or the 1940 Rolls-Royce selections
often are featured at Concours d’Elegance (competition of elegance) shows.

6. These presentations are
actually competitions where
vehicles are compared and
judged, often for charity
fundraising.
