Antique, classic, vintage and veteran cars
To which, if any, of the following, roughly speaking, would a 'klasyk' car belong?
"A vintage car is commonly defined as a car built between the start of 1919 and the end of 1930."
"Pre-1905 vehicles are veteran cars
1905–1918 vehicles are Edwardian cars. "
"Classic car is a term frequently used to describe an older car, but the exact meaning is subject to differences in opinion. Some are very inclusive, considering any older car in fine condition a classic. Others, including the "Concours d'Elegance" and the Classic Car Club of America maintain that 1948 is the last year for the true classics. (...) A CCCA Classic is a fine or distinctive automobile, either American or foreign built, produced between 1925 and 1948."
"The Antique Automobile Club of America defines an Antique car as over 25 years old."
(All taken from "Wikipedia")
The text is an answer to a questionnaire and I have no other information whatsoever, not even the question. The answer in its entirity is:
"Klasyk/Oldtimer"
The only reason I'm assuming that it does indeed concern cars is because it comes in the middle of a block of answers which are obviously car-related.
Thanks in advance :-)

classic
none of the above or all of the above definitions as well.
'klasyk' includes a degree of subjectivity and it can be used to describe any car, really. It can be be built in the beginning of the 20 century or 21 as well, some become classic more fastly. It is not necessarily a vintage car or antique car. It can be the one James B. was driving just a year ago. Oldtimer suggests the respondent meant some older car, but it could have been as well a new model made to resemble the old ones. Just "classic", you know ;))
HTH,
