Quick Answer. There is no universally accepted standard as to what makes a car a classic. As of 2014, many states' vehicle registries consider an antique car one that was built after 1922 and is at least 20 years old. The Classic Car Club of America has a strict list of acceptable cars that were produced between 1925 and 1948.
Auto Makers label cars a year ahead as common practice due to release dates. A car made in 2016 will be released in 2015, but will often be fine tuned and made in the later part of the year. Most cars have to have time to be delivered to dealerships, tested and marketed as such, so the final product may take some time to get to you.
