"A motor car that was built between the years 1919 and 1930." Extremely specific definition, what evidence is there for it? DTLHS (talk) 03:45, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
- It seems at least somewhat established as a definition. These aren't durably cited, but they're related. [1] [2], [3]. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 03:49, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
- That's my understanding of the term. If I can find time, I'll look for verification. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:15, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
- It may be more of a British definition than an American one. Added one ref. DonnanZ (talk) 05:18, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- I have softened the definition slightly, since this uses the term for a car from 1932, which falls outside the bounds of the definition. Kiwima (talk) 21:02, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
