Actually, antique means "a manufactured product (as an automobile) from an
earlier period." (from www.m-w.com). (There are other definitions, as well,
like in customs, where it does mean more than 100 years old.)

And, any car over 25 years old qualifies as an "antique."

Apparently, this "god damn journalist" knew this and used the proper
terminology.
