Is it eligible?

All 90 series AND Limited. So yes, it's Classic. There are several already registered in the club.

Thanks Wes!

This is an example of what occasionally seems very odd to me about the CCCA's classic list. If this Buick convertible sedan had been a Series 70 Roadmaster which uses the same body and engine as the Series 80 Limited and is just as nicely trimmed, it would <span style="font-style: italic">not </span> be considered a "classic". The same thing applies to 1941 Cadillacs. A series 63 is a CCCA classic, but the nearly identical 61D is not.

there can never be a perfect answer for the "low end" cut-off. When you consider the 1940's Buick, Cadillac, Packard,and Lincoln lines, there is not a real clean break. When do the post war cars no longer sufficiently resemble the prewar cars? I'm glad there is a standard and cut-off, imperfect as it inherently must be. Besides, it gives us a good old car topic to jaw about.

To be blunt, part of it depends on who applies for which series and when they do it. I was on the committee when we passed the 1940 Buick 80 series Limited, and a majority of us felt that it should be a classic, including myself. It depends on the make up of the committee, which is mostly made up of national board members, but not totally, and since board members are elected and limited usually to three three year terms, you will see changes. Just now there are people on the committee who don't feel that 80 Series Buicks should be accepted. However, there are people who like European cars on the committee and there have been some very small displacement cars passed recently which I am very sure wouldn't have even been talked about twenty five years ago.
