She darts out to the vintage cream Rolls-Royce

(Just before Evelyn's remarriage; Evelyn is William's mother and Norma her bridesmaid)
Evelyn stands.'Right then, Norma!' The business is back in her voice as she waves her fingers in the air to dry them.
'Where's that daft purse you insist I have to use as a handbag?'
'Here.' Norma steps into the hall and comes back to slide a small silky bag on a chain over Evelyn's hand.
'Well, how about this for a wedding present, eh Norma?'
'Thank heavens for waterproof mascara,' says Norma, grinning.
'And quick-drying nail varnish,' Evelyn adds.
There's a gentle tap at the door.
'It's the driver.' Norma says. 'Nice job on the nails, William!'
She darts out to the vintage cream Rolls-Royce and stoops at the window to talk to the driver. 'You two sit in the back,' she calls, straightening up an running round to the other side to get into the front passenger seat.

(From A Terrible Kindness by Jo Browning Wroe, Part V, Aberfan, scene 62)

What is meant by "vintage" in this context? Does it refer to the colour "cream" - like "antique pink"/ "old gold" etc. - or does it mean "classic car"/ "old-timer"?

I read it as referring to the car. Technically a vintage car is one manufactured between 1919 and 1930 although I suspect that the author may be using the term to describe a younger vehicle.
