While we have the rolling 25-year cutoffs for most shows to give us some idea of what’s newly considered collectible, there are indeed other standards which we can use to determine when a car becomes collectible. For instance, when a car appears in the Hemmings classifieds, certainly somebody out there believes it to be collectible.
