The antique car crowd has very different ideas on what constitutes and
antique car.
Where did you find that definition?

Motor vehicles, power tools and other items subject to vigorous use in
contrast, may be considered antiques in the U.S. if older than 25
years, and some electronic gadgets of more recent vintage may be
considered antiques.

I don't know about tariffs, but I've always understood the definition of
"antique" to mean 25 years or older, not 100. A 1920 phonograph is an antique
by any definition.

That will work for the items that you are willing to spend the time and
$$ shipping. I still would want to very carefully read the tariff to
see just exactly what is and is not covered by the damage coverage.
Antique has a definition and it usually means 100 years old or older.
The tariff also usually states that it supersedes any promises, claims,
or off-the-cuff comments made by any employ or agent that does not
match the tariff.
If they back the truck over it or stab it with a fork truck you will
almost always get paid no matter what it is or how old it is. Other
than acts of obvious negligence UPS and the Post Office are a major pain
to deal with unless it was registered mail.
