What should be the cutoff for it being considered a new car? 20 yrs? 30 yrs? Even going back that far, cars have been so mass produced they still seem new because they are still on the streets. My 97 GP almost qualifies for antique plates. Is that considered too new? Would I take it to a car show? Maybe, if there was a specific class year represented at the show. My mechanic inspected it last week and was admiring it. He said you don't see many like this any more. Yeah, they are not head turners like the 50's - 70's muscle cars, but as long as you have the passion for cars you can appreciate what is out there. I do agree something off the showroom floor should not be in a car show unless it is some type of exotic, custom or limited production vehicle.
