I need a definition of terms here. Older cars?

I see my old rigs every day, but I doubt that they can count as I own them. So while I own a few, I do often see other old Willys rigs. In my neighborhood there are five of them, my 1948 CJ-2a, a neighbors 1952 CJ-3a, his wife’s 1955 wagon, another neighbors 1962 panel wagon, & Last but not least a 1949 Willys pickup/tow truck. There is a 1965? Jeep forward control flatbed about a mile away. These are all daily drivers.

We also have, as at least weekly drivers a 1959 Ford Panel truck, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird, a 1951? and a 1966 Chevy Suburban(s). One neighbor has a 1955 Chevy belair, a four door.

Heck, I drive a 1972 Ford Pinto Ranchero almost daily, but it does not count, as I own it & it is not really that old.

Around here 1990s and up Subaru s are everywhere. My wife has one. She also has a 1996 Buick Park Avenue. We see a few of them driving around town often.

I couldn’t tell you their makes, but most old vehicles I see are pickup trucks.
