vintages
- 1Plural of vintage.

The museum's cars span several vintages, from prewar roadsters to postwar sedans.
Note
A vintage is one season's yield, so the plural sorts wine by year: the last three vintages from a single vineyard can taste very different. The same plural carries over to anything dated by when or where it was made, such as furniture of several vintages. The adjective in vintage cars, by contrast, never adds the -s.
