Oldtimer Wallpapers

Oldtimer car (Vintage car) - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: The word oldtimer designates an antique car in many countries, especially in continental Europe. The word originated in German-speaking areas a pseudo-anglicism. A gathering of "Oldtimers" then refers to an antique car meet or show and not (necessarily) the age of the owners. They sometimes even undertake rally races. A vintage car system, with the result that towards the end of the period, the ability to negotiate unpaved roads was no longer required. is commonly defined as a car built between the start of 1919 and the end of 1930. There is little debate about the start date of the Vintage period � the end of World War I [br]is a nicely defined marker there � but the end date is a matter of a [br]little more debate. The British definition is strict about 1930 being [br]the cut-off, while some American sources prefer 1925 since it is the pre - classic car period as defined by the Classic Car Club of America. [br]Others see the Classic period as overlapping the Vintage period, [br]especially since the Vintage designation covers all vehicles produced [br]in the period while the official Classic definition does not, only [br]including high-end vehicles of the period. Some consider the start of World War II to be the end date of the Vintage period. The Vintage period in the automotive world was a time of transition. [br]The car started off in 1919 as still something of a rarity, and ended [br]up in 1930 well on the way towards ubiquity; in fact, automobile [br]production at the end of this period was not matched again until the 1950s. During this period, most industrialised nations built a nationwide road Cars became much more practical, convenient and comfortable during [br]this period. Car heating was introduced, as was the in-car radio. Antifreeze was introduced, allowing water-cooled cars to be used year-round. Four-wheel braking from a common foot pedal was introduced, as was the use of hydraulically actuated brakes. Power steering was also an innovation of this era. Towards the end of the Vintage era, the system of octane ratings of fuel was introduced, allowing comparison between fuels. During this period, as well as the car adapting, society began to adapt to the car. Drive-in restaurants were introduced, as well as suburban shopping centers, and motels began lining major roads in the United States.[br] [br]
