What makes an apparatus an antique???

**Plectron** · April 25, 2004

What are the "requirements" that make a piece of apparatus an antique? Age? Style? Not in service anymore? .................

I would say that age is the most important

Well...First it has to be RED!! Lol, just kidding Dennis!

Gee thanks Art, Oh wait a second... arent you sitting next to me as I type this???

I'm just curious if E119 is old enough to be considered an antique yet?............

**Plectron** · April 25, 2004

I would say that age is the most important

Then How old is too old??

No, i don't think it's old enough to be an antique, but i'd say it meets the qualifications to be called "da shiznit"

And to answer your other question...YES

there is no too old but there is too new

I Believe SPAAMFFA conciders Pre-1970 apparatus as antique now. It used to be 25 years but there would be too many 1980 antiques still in service

I'm not sure about the new SPAAMFAA requirements, that Ed states.

But for the most part for an auto to be a classic it's 15 years old and an antique it's 25 years old.
