Yea Doc, I'm limited to car shows and parades with historical plates here in Ohio, but guess what.........THERE'S A CAR SHOW OR 'CRUISE' EVERY NITE OF THE WEEK DURING THE SUMMER HERE!!!!! It's like the Ruggles ice cream comercial on the radio here. Question to the announcer. Young boy says his mother says he can only have Ruggles ice cream on someone's birthday, Answer is somebody has a birthday every day, just because you don't know them personaly doesn't mean anything. So I keep a copy of the Cruizin' Magazine in the car at all times and the boys in blue just walk away. Gary 'The Mix'
In N.Y. any car over 25 years old has to only pass a safety inspection,
brakes, front end, light's, wipers, ect. No emissions. 10$ No historical
plates necessary. My regular insured 77 Malibu falls in this category
along with my two 74. You don't have to have historical plates to get
classic insurance here. Also with historical plates you are limited
where you can take the car, shows, parades, club meetings. I drive both
Hornet's all over al the time weather permitting.

Before they did away with it last year the only way you could get out of being tested was to get the historic plates. If you had a daily driver and wanted to have regular plates so you could actually be legal you had to have it tested forever. If it was over 20 years old they didn't have you raise the hood nor did they check for a converter but it still had to pass a test. It wasn't as hard as for new cars but you still had to pass it.
