In the past, vehicles were classified as antiques, classics, or historic based on their age and other characteristics.

"Car reselling shipping" can refer to the process of selling a car to a buyer in a different location, and then arranging for the vehicle to be shipped or transported to the buyer's location. This is often done by car dealerships or individuals who are selling their personal vehicles to buyers who live far away. The seller will usually arrange for a shipping company or transport service to pick up the vehicle and deliver it to the buyer, either by truck or by some other means of transportation. The cost of shipping is typically borne by the buyer, although the seller may sometimes offer to cover some or all of the shipping costs as part of the sale.
