Refering to them as old or new seems more simple and practical an answer. Anyway, it is what i do and people seem to understand right away. Nor would i be stretching the truth in any meaningful way.

I would agree What'sa has a good suggestion. The "new" Shelby Cobras are not 1965, '66, or '67 cars. They are 2002, 2003 etc. cars built to look like the cars of the '60's
