    Historic vehicle

    When exactly is a vehicle considered historic and what are the advantages/disadvantages of having historic tags?

    I think its passage of time--25 years & you qualify. The historic plates are cheaper, but only allow you to go to shows, car events & get the car serviced. Amazing how much service you might need when driving on historic plates.

    As I stated, it varies by state. In North Carolina the threshold is 35 years. There is no (known to me) advantage in having an antique vehicle plate. It must be renewed each year at full cost. it provides no known perks. In Virginia, it is 25 years, and has a one time fee. It is permanent. However, there are restrictions as to vehicle useage. I have no specific information on other states.

    Here's the scoop for Maryland .... 20 years old, no substantial modifications, and cannot be used for daily use ... just for car shows, parades, club activities, etc.

    Historic:

    To qualify as a historic vehicle, your vehicle must not have been substantially altered, remodeled, or remanufactured from its original construction, and must be 20 model years or older.
    A historic vehicle 60 years or older may obtain a one-time, permanent, non-transferable registration. This vehicle registration does not qualify for specialty plates.
    Vehicles classified as historic certifies the vehicle will be maintained for use in exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, occasional transportation and similar uses. The vehicle owner further certifies the vehicle will not be used for general daily transportation or primarily for the transportation of passenngers or property on highways. You will need to fill out the Application for Historic or Street Rod Registration (form # VR-096).

    Maryland used to be a 25 years old vehicle for "Historic" classification.
    They changed it a few years ago to only 20 years old.
    You also are exempt from emissions testing in Maryland....

    Plus in N.C. a historic vehicle needs no state emissions or safety inspection and you can put whatever license plate you want on the car, but must carry the state issued plate in the car at all times.

    25 years in NJ for QQ plates(historic). Limited use and with the QQ plate you can qualify for cheap insurance. Buddy of mine has a 65 Chevy p-up and pays like 150 bucks a year. In NJ 150 is really cheap insurance.

    Thanks for the input. Just wondering when the 20 year mark started, from build date or what?

    It's usually the year the car was built. Right now, at a minimum your car would have to be a 1980 model year to be a 20 year old historic vehicle. I've never heard of a state getting as granular as a build date.

    In Maryland (where your car would be registered), the car has to be 20 model years old. So an '03 MM would qualify in 2023 and an '04 MM would qualify in 2024.

    Thank the great sight impaired one for that...

    Also in NYS you can use a original license plate from that year.

    Some states (Ohio included) have "collector" plates which does not limit based on age, but on collectibility.
