When does a car join the ranks of classiccars, and can any car become a classic?

The definition of classic car depends on who you are asking. The Classic Car Club of America states that it must have been manufactured between 1925 and 1948 and be in extremely good condition. Many insurance companies define classic cars as those who are at least 15 years old, have low mileage, are in original condition and are preferably produced in limited quantities.
