1. Basic Definition of a Vintage Car

A vintage car is a car that was built in the 1919 – 1930 period. This is considered by many experts to be the vintage era for cars as well as other items. Even thought there may be debate about the beginning of this era, the termination is never in doubt; it is the end of the First World War. The British version of the definition particularly insists that 1930 is the cut-off point for the vintage era. This was generally a very significant time for automobiles.

The idea of cars got a jump start in the late 1920s and ended in the 1930s. In fact, the production of automobiles at the finishing point of this period was not matched again till the 1950s. And within the period a great majority of the industrialized states managed to build road systems throughout their territory. As an aftermath, by the end of this era, the capacity to overcome rather rough roads wasn’t any longer one of the key considerations of automobile designers.

Then cars became much more convenient and practical in this era. The car manufacturers introduced car heaters, in-car radios and things like that. The world saw the introduction of 4-wheel brakes. This was a major breakthrough in a world ruled by the common foot pedals. Some cars even got hydraulic brakes. This era was also earmarked by the introduction of power steering technology. Towards the final phase of the automobile vintage era, there was a novel introduction of octane rating of fuel, which gave mankind the liberty to compare fuels. Back in the 1920s the gasoline additive Ethyl made a debut at the renowned Indy 500. This resulted in a clear improvement in octane. In the US, drive-in type restaurants came into the scene and so did uptown shopping centers and motels.

Let us not forget about Alfred Sloan and H. Earl of General Motors. W. Chrysler tried to capitalize on advertising the role of the automobile in human life and in the life of the common consumers. He figured out that cars can give much better utilitarian value compared to the traditional means of transport such as the horse and buggy. There was a crash in the stock market in 1929 and that triggered the laying off of a large number of automotive workers. There were a lot of new companies out there that went bankrupt. However, more than 2 million vehicles were still being produced in the late 1920s and throughout 1930s.
