I'd like to clarify the word vintage being used in this post , don't look at this as stepping on a foot but getting the best out of this post. When one says a car is vintage , manufacture date starts 1919 all the way up to 1930 (british). Although the Americans base it at 1925 per CCCA. The reason why it is called vintage is because these were made during the so called "Vintage Era" right about the end of World War 1.

It gets a little confusing because people may say ... what about Classic or Antique ... well from the numerous friends that are car enthusiast both here and abroad , and from books or the net - People are saying Classic falls between 25 to 45 years , while Antique would be cars over 45 years.

So if my math is correct that VW is borderline Classic and Antique, in a year or two that VW is going to be an Antique

Hope this helps

This was my last restoration , which falls under Classic, but in a couple of years will also fall into the Antinque category.

Classics are not just cars, they're a way of life!

Medyo, hehehe. Pero mabawi raman sa lingaw, especially on the open road. But when stuck in traffic and watching your fuel gauge drop, now that's a different story! Hehehe. Here's another one, a finny this time:


Here's the same finny on a run to Danao fishport:



We just had our overnight fun run along with our families up north...we're planning another overnight run down south sometime this summer. And do some italian tune up along the way, hehe.
