Well, THAT could be interesting, huh? Let's see now....

Original Mustang: Classic. The mechanically almost identical Falcon Sprint or 
Futura? I'd vote classic, but....

The Spitfire (/GT6/TR250)? Classic, of course! The mechanically almost 
identical Herald (/Vitesse/2000 sedan)? Again, I'd vote classic, but....

E-Type? Sure. Mk 10 or 420 sedan? Well....

Where does one draw the line? Will Ford station wagons make the cut, or would 
they stop below Country Squire...or Country Sedan...or allow the Ranch Wagon?

Or will they adhere to the "classic" definition of "classic" and cut off 
anything after 1942 or so? :-)

And who's to say that a Datsun B-210 Honey Bee or Oleg Cassini Edition AMC 
Matador might not be a classic in the eyes of a loving owner?

I wish "them" luck in their definitions; hopefully SB 708 won't be worth 
losing a lot of sleep over.
