The term classic car or classic car in common parlance is used to describe any vintage car that belongs to a bygone era. However, the term “classic” Mercedes Benz Toronto is expected to have a much more specific meaning at times. For example, the authorities define classic cars as those that were manufactured between 1925 and 1948.
These cars are now strictly collectibles and have really prohibitive prices. Even then, there are enthusiasts willing to shell out huge sums of money to get a classic car of their choice. The standards established by the CCCA for the classification of an automobile as ‘classic’ is, ‘… a fine or distinctive automobile, whether of American or foreign manufacture, produced between 1925 and 1940’.
Other factors, including engine displacement, custom body styles, and luxury accessories like power brakes, power clutch, and automatic or one-step lubrication systems, help determine whether or not a car is classic. The SLK model may not appear on this list, but in the modern sense of the term Classic, it sure is a beauty to behold.
