Re: let me be start the "cavaliers ARE classics" argument
The word "classic" has different meanings as there are people. In NY where I live, a vehicle is considered a "classic" by the DMV and eligible for historical plates if it is 25 years or older,( although I can't see a 1981 Chevy Citation or 1981 Ford Escort driving around with historical plates just yet.) There are certain criteria one can use to determine if a vehicle could be considered a classic such as age, condition, and rarity (which could also be determined by how many were produced versus how many are still around today.) I live in the heart of the rustbelt and cannot remember the last time I even saw a Citation or pre 90's Escort driving around, let alone a Cavilier made before 1990. To some in my area, that might be good enough to them to consider these vehicles a "classic". Whereas areas in the South and West of the United States might not, as there probably are hundreds of these cars still floating around on the roadways. What makes me feel old is when I check my local paper's classified ads under the section of classic cars for sale and see vehicles for sale from the late '70s to the mid '80s now. I remember these cars as being sold new and all the ads for them, and to now consider them as classics just takes awhile getting used to. What also might be a determination if a car could be considered a "classic" is what type of cult following it has. I know certain vehicles have their fans, and if enough of these cars are still around in the future in good shape, and there are enough interested owners, that could also be a reason to consider it a "classic". The Corvair comes to mind as in my area there is a club of Corvair owners, and although these cars had bad reviews, they are still popular.I'm starting to see more interest on the internet of Cavilier owners from all years, maybe that will be enough in the future to brand these cars as "classic", who knows? I kind of miss the mid to late '80s 2 door body style. I used to be sick of them because there was so many, now I don't see them anymore. I always thought if they were full framed RWD cars, they would have made a great car to build up for high performance.
