vintage Olds
Oldsmobile dos anos 20 / Oldsmobile da década de 20


Explanation:
A vintage car is commonly defined as a car built between the start of 1919 and the end of 1930.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_car

Rigorosamente seria um Oldsmobile fabricado entre 1919 e 1930 mas para simplificar a tradução, acho que "da década de 20" serve, já que os anos exatos de fabricação do carro não são relevantes neste texto.
