Fine shot of a fine old automobile.

That's a nice shot of a Fiat Balilla from the 1930s, which makes it a post-vintage or pre-war classic, not a veteran car (see Wikipedia's entry for the accepted definitions of old car classifications). Veteran classification is restricted to pre-1909 vehicles.

Nice pix...please keep the vintage car pix coming. We in North America rarely see old Fiats, etc...over here.

Thanks everybody for comments! You have right. There are many terms and definitions: Antique car, Veteran era, Brass era, Vintage era, Classic cars etc.

In Norwegian daily speach a Veteran car is more than 30 years old. :-)

OK. It seems we have a cultural difference, which is fine, just keep the pictures coming, anyway! Thanks for sharing them.
