The general rule is a classic car can be any vehicle as long as it has reached a mature 30 to 35 years of age (or grater) and is in mint condition. Sentimental value also plays a role. If you own a older vehicle (no matter what it is) that you are very fond of for any reason, and sacrificed time, money, blood, sweat and tears to painstakingly restore it back to it’s former glory; then that my friends, is a classic, not a waste of time.
There are rich pompous a** hole classic car groups (like the Classic Car Club of America) who think [and I quote]
These cars that they describe as being classics (and it’s a short list) are hard to find and end up costing way more to own, restore or buy, than say a ’57 Chevy Bel Air or ’66 Ford Mustang. So in other words, what they are saying is, that owning a real classic car is for rich and wealthy people only.
As the average person cannot afford the types of cars they suggest are classics.
Why should owning a classic car be for the rich only? (it shouldn’t) Who has the right to suggest what is and what isn’t a classic? (no one)
Oh and by the way, the CCCA does not even consider the ’57 Chevy Bel Air nor the ’66 Ford Mustang as classics (the nerve!)

cars recognized as "CCCA Classics" were built in limited production numbers and were quite expensive when new. As a group, they represent the pinnacle of engineering, styling and design for their era.These cars that they describe as being classics (and it’s a short list) are hard to find and end up costing way more to own, restore or buy, than say a ’57 Chevy Bel Air or ’66 Ford Mustang.
