I posted this under ECTA but it probably applies across all venues . . .
What is an "American" car?
The Classic Category stipulates "American" coupes and sedans. Is that meant to cover ALL cars with American labels? - Chevy, Ford, Buick, Studebaker, Willys, etc. Or, does that exclude captive imports that were sold as American cars but were built somewhere else? - Buick Opel, Plymonth Arrow, Dodge Colt, Mercury Capri, Ford Fiesta, and others that were available prior to 1981 and had American names but were built somewhere else.
Another car that was built in America (New Stanton, PA) prior to 1981 was the first generation VW Rabbit. Is that an American Car under the Classic Rules?
I assume that a true classic per the Classic Category rules should be a car from the big three and their long gone competition, (American Motors, Nash, Studebaker, Willys, Crosley, Hudson, American Austin, etc). Comments?
