Tom:
Go take a look at the text of the Bill before the NY Senate:
Bill S00615
It deals with Street Rods (pre-1948) and Custom Vehicles (post-1948)...that's us.
It basically says that custom vehicles will be registered as the model year of the car that they replicate... (...wahoo!)
..and that, I quote..
A VEHICLE REGISTERED UNDER THIS SCHEDULE SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM ANY STATUTE THAT REQUIRES PERIODIC VEHICLE INSPECTIONS AND FROM ANY STATUTE THAT REQUIRES THE USE AND INSPECTION OF EMISSION CONTROLS. ...(a bigger wahoo!)
To qualify, though, it must not be a daily driver... only used for "occasional transportation".
