For example you are eligible for State Farm classic car insurance if your vehicle is age 10 to 24 and has historic interest such as a hot rod or muscle car. The American Antique car club and most insurance companies consider a car eligible for antique car insurance after 25 years of age. States often have a special type of license plate for these cars.
Once a vehicle like this is 25 years old it is an antique in State Farms eyes and is no longer eligible for classic car insurance.
