If I heard that same comment among a group of knowledgeable car historians, I might actually say something.

Interesting comment. The Home Depot crowd will know their cars and little else. In their mind they ARE knowledgeable and consider their stuff to be Classic while the ACCA are ones who stole the Classic name from
them. They generally become hostile if you push it at all...... so I don't.
I tried to explain all of this on the 113 site and I got a Home Depot response. You'd think they would want to know that their cars are considered Milestones ( which is not bad, BTW ) and maybe get a little bit of automotive history? But it always fall into the same predictable rut like, that's what everyone calls them, that's what we call then over here, etc.
