Classic American Cars

Classic American Cars Hallmark Ornaments

(1991-PRESENT)

Classic American Cars began in 1991 with the 1957 Corvette and has remained one of Hallmark's strongest vehicle themes. Classic American Cars Hallmark Ornaments notes two details that make the series easy to recognize: the wheels turn, and each car includes two license plates—one for the model year and one for the ornament release year. That clever plate system gives the series a built-in identification feature beyond the sculpted car body.

Automotive milestones include 1991 1957 Corvette, Classic American Cars #1 and 2005 Muscle Cars, Classic American Cars, Club Exclusive - RARE. The first Corvette gives the series its starting flag, while the 2005 Muscle Cars club set shows how the category grew beyond standard annual entries. Classic American Cars also points to the 2002 1970 Ford Mach I Mustang as one of the most popular official pieces, with the 2009 Ford Mustang GT and 2005 Muscle Cars set standing out as famous complements. This is a category where grill shape, paint color, plate wording, and model year all matter.
