Sure, it's nice to have vintage plates, but the actual year the car was manufactured should be on the title, according to the DMV. I won't risk having my car impounded or worse. All it'll take is for your state to hire someone who's hip to what's going on with these component car titles and just like that, the guidelines will change. Same goes for the street rod replicas.
Bingo! We have a winner. These are not vehicles produced in the 60's.
Just like most of the steel or glass '32 Fords out there. They are new special construction vehicles made to simulate the "original" cars body style with modern engineering.
Yes, the police need to know that the car looks like a ’32 Ford or a ’65 Cobra but it is not a ’32 or ’65 vehicle.
