[Roadsters] '70 2000 on BAT

[Louie Partida]

 Virginia is similar, registration as "VINTAGE" or "ANTIQUE" means you no longer need to pass the annual safety inspection, but limits use nominally to car events, though I've never heard of strict enforcement.

Unless I’m mistaken, California is unique in regulating antique cars, at least 25 years old.  Are there any others?  Cars specifically registered as, and treated as an antique.  As opposed to an old car you still drive to work.

I’m with Pat (removable night time LED conspicuity lamp on top-center of roll hoop), and apparently, California vehicle traffic law.

I haven't measured on my car (which is 14 away from this car by serial number, btw), but those lights look like they're less than 15 inches above the ground, and since they're not red, that's strike one, strike two for being illegal (in California, at least.)

I don’t think that adding low stop/turn lights will help at all, they are too hidden to be seen by anything except another low vehicle. When I redid my car I added LED light bars to the back of the roll bar, much easier to see.

Yea or nay on the funky (and illegal) add on amber stop lamps peeking out from under the rear bumper?
