-Problem is in PA with Antique plates you have limited hours when you can
drive and lower speed limits.
not true anymore. some of those rules were according to insurance carrier
and not state. it is true though that the cars labeled classic and antique
cannot be daily driven, with a 5000 mile per year limit, and they can not be
left unatended in parking lots, and they can only be considered antique if
they are of original style, and not heavily modified, and same for classic.
as well as classics are not subject to PA state emissions testing, but are
subjected to safety inspection where as antique are not subject to either
emissions or inspection.
all this and mileage reports must be turned in either every 6 or 12 months
based on the insurance carrier, plus the registered owner of the car must be
at least 25 years of age, and the car must be garage kept, cannot be left
out on a driveway or street.
I am a PA state certified emissions/safety inspector. I go through this BS
all the time with people who are mad about having a classic car plate and
then having to follow the rules.
nice thing about classic in PA is that classic car and antique car plates
are non-transferrable, as well as they are bought by the owner, and require
no annual registration sticker to be kept. so one time fee and it's yours.
