Under the current Classic Car Club of America designation, no they are not. It
sounds like the Milestone Car Society has all but disappeared. Maybe there will
be a reclassification of old cars now that the hobby has expanded and includes
a much younger and diverse crowd.
Somehow I doubt that the our cars will ever be included in the same grouping
with the "original Classics", but time will have to tell what the categories
will be and when they will be established.
