What is a classic car? What age makes a car a true classic?

For a time, the authorities at Goodguys Rod & Custom considered anything from 1972 and earlier to be a classic—or at least that was the requirement to get into one of its renowned Goodguys events. However, the times (or years) are changing for the 2018 Goodguys calendar of events.

The association has announced they have raised the cutoff year to participate in its events to 1987.
