You would need to consult the AACA or similar European institution. Some classifications by year include Antique (may include Brass Era), Vintage, Classic really pertains to those luxury marques such as Pierce-Arrow, Cadillac, La Salle, Packard, Dusenberg, Auburn, Cord, Chrysler Imperial, or the high-end model lines of general manufacturers such as Hudson, Studebaker, Buick, Nash, etc.
I would wish this site to be as credible as possible, as there is a wealth of knowledge among its users in a broad range of vehicles, so assigning an arbitrary "cut-off" year would be too much for everyone to remember, I think.
Excuse the American references, there would of course be Bentley, Rolls Royce, Mercedes-Benz, among the Classic category.
I know in the States the postwar thru 1965 is sometimes referred to as classic, but standard definitions do exist, if you talk to the right people. I can work on this if you're interested. I am a member of the Buick Club of America, there may be senior members from whom this info can be requested.
