Classic Car Club of America
A CCCA Classic is a "fine" or "distinctive" automobile, either American
or foreign built, produced between 1925 and 1948. Other factors,
including engine displacement, custom coachwork and luxury accessories,
such as power brakes, power clutch, and "one-shot" or automatic
lubrication systems, help determine whether a car is considered a
Classic.
basic safety features of car and classic
Drivers of classic cars must be especially
careful. Classic cars often lack what are now considered basic safety features,
such as seat belts, crumple zones or rollover protection. Retro-styled
(color-coded with chromed buckles) 2-point and 3-point seat (safety) belts are
manufactured according to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Some classic car owners are reluctant to retrofit seat belts for the loss of
originality this modification implies. The suspension of a classic car may not
be suitable for radial ply tyres, having been designed only for bias ply tires.
Narrow classic car wheels may have been designed for narrow high profile tubed
tires and not be suitable for modern tubeless radial tires. Another problem
with modern tires on classic cars is that increased grip requires increased
steering effort; many classic cars do not have power steering
Classic car styling
The CCCA term, "Antique Car" has been confined to
"the functionally traditional designs of the earlier period" (mostly
pre-war). They tended to have removable fenders, trunk, headlights, and a
usual vertical grill treatment. In a large vehicle, such as a Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, or in a smaller form, the MG TC,
with traditional lines, might typify the CCCA term. Another vehicle
might be a classic example of a later period but not a car from the
"classic period of design", in the opinion of the CCCA.
