Vintage and antique are both correct. If it was built prior to 1922 California lets you register it as a horseless carriage.

If you are interested in owning one I would pick up a copy of Hemmings Motor News. They also have a website.

If you research you can find similar cars that are very affordable. Model T sedans with dual spares are under $20k. Dodge Bros. are sometimes even less.

The cars pictured are all marques that fall into the "Classic" car category. This designation is given to certain marques based on design, price, appointments; Packard, Cadillac, Auburn, Cord, Deusenberg, Pierce Arrow, to name a few. There is a national classic car club.
Any car over the age of 25 years can be registered with the AACA (Antique Auto Club of America.
My dad and I owned a couple of antique cars years ago. Had a lot of fun on tours, shows, etc.. My wife and I had all antiques in our wedding. We rode to the reception in the rumble seat of a 1931 Caddy V-12 coupe.

A vintage car 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 is a nicely defined marker there — but the end date is a matter of a little more debate. The British definition is strict about 1930 being 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. Others see the Classic period as overlapping the Vintage period, especially since the Vintage designation covers all vehicles produced in the period while the official Classic definition does not, only including high-end vehicles of the period. Some consider the start of World War II to be the end date of the Vintage period.
