DHC8-100's can loosely be termed as such but generally it has been a term used for B737's & 747's etc.
Technically it's for airframes constructed after September 1945, up to and including December 31, 1955. There after are termed "contemporary" etc etc.
I know what you're trying to say but the 300's still have partial glass displays and you make me feel older when you say it
Lol in the maintenance world the term Classic is used to describe the -1, 2, and 300 series Dash8. It was actually started by the OEM.
