It is much cheaper to register them this way, than the normal registration fee, so people are figuring out that it is a way to save money on their POS.

In PA, you need to send a picture of the car, I guess to prevent a situation like this.

You can get historic vehicle tags in CA as well, however there is a stipulation that cars wearing them are not to be driven for typical errands, etc. In other words, if you are stopped when driving your whatever, you are supposed to be on your way to a show, a parade, or some other "event" in your 25-year-old or older automobile. Best not to get stopped in traffic on the way to work some weekday morning.

Those would be the Antique Vehicle plates. 25 years and older, 5 year registration that A-Snake posted. Even though the age is the same, the Historic Vehicle registration is every year and does not have the same restrictions.

I drive a CR II. I've waited a long time to get anything that even looks like a Cobra. I can justify almost anything that I have done in my life but at the end of the day you make your decision and try to enjoy your choice. This debate can go on ad nauseum and I'll still be happy with the choice I made.

If you have deep enough pockets go out and buy "THE REAL THING" if you don't, then buy something that makes you happy.

The most important thing is to remember to drive it when you can.
