I had not previously considered historical plates but my insurance company offered me a substantial savings if I have historical license plates.
However this means only shows & parades. How closely is this monitored? Thanks David |

It's been a while since I've been down the path of historic plates in Maryland, so I decided to refresh my memory. From Maryland's historic plate application:
"I/We certify under oath that the vehicle will only be maintained for use in exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, occasional transportation and similar uses. I/We further certify that this vehicle will not be used for general daily transportation or primarily for the transportation of passengers or property on highways." Thus an occasional drive to work, running errands, going out of for dinner, etc is permissible. And for those in Maryland who are subject to emission testing, historic registration exempts the car from testing. Presently the car has to be 20 years old, but there has been talk of increasing it to 25 years. |
