Talk:Vintage car

Since the article restricts vintage cars to 1919-1930, why is there a picture claiming to be of a Post World War II car?--PeterR 21:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hear, hear. The picture should be replaced by one of a qualifying vintage car. Aeronian 03:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Rectified by replacement with pics of one US and one Brit car of vintage period. Bjenks 15:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate title
I am wondering why Vintage vehicles redirects here? Was this originally a British entry?
 * Car: British Dialect . Any wheeled vehicle, as a farm cart or wagon.
 * Vehicle: 1)- Any means in or by which someone travels or something is carried or conveyed; a means of conveyance or transport: a motor vehicle; space vehicles. 2)- a conveyance moving on wheels, runners, tracks, or the like, as a cart, sled, automobile, or tractor.

In the U.S. the word "vehicle" is any wheeled vehicle and a car can be called an automobile. Even "Vintage automobile" would be more correct. I understand those that are into just "cars" but vehicles is a category that is inclusive, like vintage trucks, or other vintage forms of transportation. It would only seem logical that it would have been the other way around. I have no problem with an article on vintage cars, one on vintage trucks, and the list would go on and on. However, to redirect vehicles, that is inclusive to all, to "cars", that is one particular type of vehicle (unless British) is backwards.

As it stands now this article, and others such as, Scarborough Fair Collection, Traction Engine, Ice pop and others, have a serious "British" view. I have no problem using definitions from different countries but do have a problem if Wikipedia is being transformed into a British edition. If an article is going to present a world view then meaning of words should be important.

Would someone look at this and let me know. Otr500 (talk) 15:09, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

An interesting comment. We must resign ourselves that people generally live in one country with that perspective. I personally living in UK see very many articles which are USA centric contrary to my own experiences. We would lose a lot of interesting stuff if everything is neutralised.
