“Classic car” isn’t just some vibe. It’s literally a legal term for cars of a certain age. Depending on the country it refers to >15, >20 or >25 years old cars. That means you can have a relatively fuel efficient car that is considered a classic car.
The first Toyota Prius came out 1997 (29 years ago) and would be considered a classic car today.
Well, I guess that’s what I get for not being a car guy lol. I had no clue that the cutoff was so recent, I thought “classic” was for cars from the last century. TIL.

Just so we’re clear, “the last century“ was 26 years ago…
In my experience, “classic” is over 20, “antique” is over 25.
