Here's my submission to this game. I did a partial pic because the whole thing would have been WAY too easy... I'm not 100% this isn't too easy, but we'll see who knows classics and vintage cars.
Free positive reps to anyone who can correctly define the difference between a "classic" car and a "vintage" car!
Here's the car:
ok, you win...i guess...if you took a poll a majority by far would call it the Bug-eyed Sprite, that's what it's been known as since it ws first released...some people still call it frog-eyed though. Anyways....Quote:

I almost did a concept car but decided that wouldn't be fair cause not everyone is a concept whore like me.
i'm gonna go out on a limb and say Buick Riviera (except the chrome strips aren't right)...it's much too late of a model to be the auburn, packard, or deusenberg [boattails]
vintage car is built between 1919 and 1930. and a classic is any old car..
as for the pic.. i wana say its some kind of buick bussiness custom..?
Buick is correct. That's all that's correct :D
redline... on the definitions you're close. classic has a certain time frame, and your timeframe for vintage is juuuust off.
lol, i pulled buick out of my ass. The "vintage" range is subject to interpretation though...Quote:

There is little debate about the start date of the Vintage period — the end of World War I is a nicely defined marker there — but the end date is a matter of a little more debate. The British definition is strict about 1930 being the cut-off, while some American sources prefer 1925 since it is the pre-Classic car period as defined by the Classic Car Club of America. Others see the Classic period as overlapping the Vintage period, especially since the Vintage designation covers all vehicles produced in the period while the official Classic definition does not, only including high-end vehicles of the period. Some consider the start of World War II to be the end date of the Vintage period.
The Vintage period in the automotive world was a time of transition. The car started off in 1919 as still something of a rarity, and ended up in 1930 well on the way towards ubiquity; in fact, automobile production at the end of this period was not matched again until the 1950s. During this period, most industrialised nations built a nationwide road system, with the result that towards the end of the period, the ability to negotiate unpaved roads was no longer required.
Cars became much more practical, convenient and comfortable during this period. Car heating was introduced, as was the in-car radio. Antifreeze was introduced, allowing water-cooled cars to be used year-round. Four-wheel braking from a common foot pedal was introduced, as was the use of hydraulically actuated brakes. Power steering was also an innovation of this era. Towards the end of the Vintage era, the system of octane ratings of fuel was introduced, allowing comparison between fuels.
During this period, as well as the car adapting, society began to adapt to the car. Drive-in restaurants were introduced, as well as suburban shopping centers, and motels began lining major roads in the United States.
I'm sooo sick of looking at Buicks....make it go away!!!! ahhhh :rant:
lol well name which buick it is then!
I've always heard vintage defined as up to WWI, and classic being WW1 to 75...
And to give you a hint about the car I posted, it is NOT a vintage. It's a classic, which means ca 1930-1975. ;)
lol, geee thanks for the hint... :rolleyes: i know the approx. year range just from looking at the lines and trim but i just can't find it! grrrQuote:

I'm gonna have to say LeSabre even though that's not what that car is....Quote:
