John_S_in_Penna Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Annual inspection of antique cars seems to me a large burden for large collections. Suppose someone has a collection of 20 antique cars. Does he have to take each one out for inspection every year, just in order to drive it to a show or parade? Do some people have the inspectors come to their own collections, to look at every car all on the same trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 It's a pain as you have to leave it at alot of facilities. I really don't like leaving my cars anywhere. Fortunately I know the guy, so IU schedule a time and he's pretty good about me just rolling right in. My stuff is all good before I go though so he knows there won't be any issues. I bet it's nothing to do with safety and everything to do with revenue. It's really a pain as if your inspection lapses, you can't renew the plates. So a car you may be working on or just not using then is out of registration when you go to get it registered. Look at my Dodge I started on the brakes and a year later it was finally ready to go to the station, now if you transferred plates they could be expired with no way to re register until you get it inspected. So now you have to drive an un registered and un inspected car (two tickets) to the station just o make it legal, all because you were doing things the right way and making the car safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 For a state inspection of an antique, you would have to have a knowledgeable inspector near you. That could be difficult, because the average town doesn't have restoration shops that would know, for example, 1909 Stanley steamers, how to start them and even drive them onto the lift; how to fix their carbide lighting; or 1915 Hudsons and their external contracting mechanical brakes. "Sir, the windshield wipers are missing on your 1903 Oldsmobile. Actually, your windshield is missing too!" The typical repair shops in every town couldn't properly inspect and repair such cars, as they might a 1969 Camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Move to PA. Antique and classic plates are once and done, no annual renewal, and no annual inspections. ...............Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic registration is exempt from emission but not safety checks. Antique is exempt from both. I've been skating with the 69 Vette from at least 1985. Probably get bust tomorrow now that I know...........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32tatra Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 NYS is never going to pass a new law about antique car registration, like other states have. NYS is too hot for the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
