Welcome to Verada!

If you’re a car enthusiast who is particularly passionate about vintage cars, classic cars or old cars – you’re in the right place!

Our newly launched blog at Verada.org is a treasure trove of information about these cars, and we’re constantly updating it with more and more information that is bound to pique the interest of any enthusiast.

The name Verada actually comes from a model of Mitsubishi car designed and built first in 1985 by Mitsubishi Motors Australia. It was also known as the Mitsubishi Magna or V3000 and was the first car made by Mitsubishi to rival the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore in terms of being a large family car.

Although this car isn’t a vintage by any means, and may only be a loosely defined classic – it has had an important role to play in the automobile industry and was so popular that it spanned 3 generations until it was replaced in 2005!

It is in the spirit of this car and other models like it that we’ve launched this blog to give others a glance into the past, so that they can find out more about old, classic and vintage cars that are out there – as well as why they are so significant, what to expect from them, and so on.

If you like, you can even chip in and add your points of view to the mix by commenting or even contributing your own articles that deal with any issue related to vintage, classic, or old cars.

But before you go any further, there is one issue that we need to straighten out right off the bat!

“What are Vintage, Classic and Old Cars?” like the Verada

What makes one car vintage and another car classic? How do cars qualify  for these labels and what criteria do they need to fulfill.

To be honest, there is quite a bit of debate about that!

In Britain, a vintage car is any car built between 1919 and 1930. This was known as the vintage era, and so the name somewhat fits. On the other hand, the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) defines it as any car from 1919 to 1925.

Partly, this is because the CCCA then goes on to define a classic car as a car built between 1925 and 1948 that fulfills certain other factors too. This is very different from the legal definition in the United States where a ‘classic’ car is any car manufactured at least 20 years ago (from the current date).

At the same time the Antique Automobile Club of America classifies cars older than 45 years to be ‘antique’, whereas those between 20 to 45 years are considered ‘classic’.

To cut a long story short – while there is at least a roughly agreed set of dates that determine whether a car is vintage or not, the line between a classic car and an old car is somewhat blurred.

That is why we decided to make thing simple and cover all these types of cars in our blog so that no one is left out and any enthusiast can find everything they’d like, all under one roof!
