Larry,
My car is a 73 B. PA has 3 types of registration for the enthusiast
to choose from: Classic, Antique, and Constructed (a kitcar).
Antique is exempt from smog and inspection, but may only be driven
between dusk and dawn. Classic is exempt from smog, and is subject
to an annual mileage limit (5k?).
To qualify for an Antique, the car must be at least 25 years old.
To qualify as a Classic, it must be 15 years old (i think) and out
of production for something like 7 years.
Several PA residents have mailed me saying that acceptance by PennDOT
probably depends more on the type of day the approver happens to be
having than on the condition of the car (or the position of the top).
And judging from some of the heaps that I have seen sporting Classic
plates, I completely agree. Try, try again...
