Do we have an operative definition for "classic post-war automobile"? What makes this car classic? After which war? I can guess which one, but what's the point of saying post-war, when the template already has a date range (1945–1975), and the war is not directly relevant to the automobile?

Or more bluntly: why does this template exist? I'd say we should just replace this with {{auto-stub}}, and perhaps a category from Category:Automobiles by decade when known. TheFeds 23:59, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
