Historic Vehicle
A historic vehicle is 30 or more years old and is primarily driven for the purpose of historical exhibition. You may obtain a special plate indicating this status.
Because historic vehicles are used only occasionally on the State highway system, annual registration renewal of a historic vehicle registration is not necessary. The initial registration fee for historic vehicles is $10.00.
Custom Collector Vehicle
A custom collector vehicle has a body and frame manufactured before 1949, or is a replica of such a model. The initial plate fee for custom collector plates is $50.00, along with all applicable fees for the class and body style of vehicle.
These vehicles must be modified for safe road use and must have:
- Hydraulic service brakes on all wheels
- Sealed beam or halogen headlights
- Safety belts for all occupants
- Turn signals and a turn-signal switch
- Safety glass or Lexan
- Electric or vacuum windshield wiper in front of the driver
- Standard or blue-dot taillights
- Parking brake operating on at least two wheels on the same axle
