I know that in PA its 15 years for classic. Theres a strict new emissions rule in PA now, it has to have all the equipment. So that means i'm going classic so I can get rid of the essentials like air pump ect. Just ask any garage that does inspection or if your near a place that registers vehicles.

my dad drives his QQed bug when ever he has a chance, be it to work, to a show, to his friends house. now, i dunno if theres a difference between classic and antique. my dad has antique plates, which is 30 years i believe.

bizarro, here you go:

Historic plates cost $41. Any motor vehicle at least 25 years old, owned as a collector's item and only used for exhibition and educational purposes by the owner qualify for this plate. They come personalized as well and the fee is $91.
i think that "only used for exhibition and educational purposes by the owner", could be interpreted in a few ways...

there is a guy here with a "brickland" (some of you may know what this is) anyways he uses the loophole by carrying around an info sheet on the car and putting it in the window. I've seen him everywhere, Home depot, mc'd's ect..there's always a way out...

It's "Bricklin"
Named after the designer, but I can't remember his first name.
He felt that smoking in cars was especially dangerous, hence no ashtrays in Bricklins.
Back on the subject (sorta), I think it would be fun to drive my '74 RX4 in the local Classic car cruise. Be fun to see the looks on all the old hot rod guys' faces.

Back to the original question. The antique/classic plates, and insurance are two separate issues. Each state motor vehicle agency makes its rules about the license plates, check with your DMV for the requirements. The specialty insurance companies like Grundy, Hagerty, etc make their own rules about what they insure and how it can be used. If you are 19 you may be S.O.L., but it wouldn't hurt to check with those companies anyway. They require that you have at least one other vehicle insured with another company as a daily driver. They also like the car to be garaged. I have several vehicles on collector car insurance including Bricklins and RX-7's, and it is definitely much cheaper, at most ~$130/year.
