I stumbled on this 2011 whitepaper, which lists the proponent’s arguments regarding assessment limits on antique vehicles. https://www.cga.ct.gov/2011/rpt/2011-R-0410.htm

I believe some of these are relevant items, and may to add into my letter.

The proponents made the following arguments for the bill:

1. An antique automobile is the only collector's item subject to the local property tax. Stamps, art, and other collectibles, which can be very valuable, are not subject to the tax.
2. There are no standards for assessing the value of antique automobiles.
3. The people who restore antique cars are primarily middle class, not rich.
4. The requirement that the cars be registered antiques and not used for general transportation provided a fair check and balance against abuse.
