Consider a class to be a fairly generic outline: an example might be of vehicles. The class could be the ford mustang that has class attributes common to all ford mustangs such as a steering wheel, 2 front seats, a row back seat, a certain range of color possibilities, interior possibilities (i.e. vinyl, leather, etc.), . An instance of that class could be considered a specific ford mustang with a certain VIN number specific to that instance; specific color, interior, transmission, etc.
