High cost of licensing a Model A
I just got the renewal notices for both my Models A's (and my 51 F1). Man these things are expensive to license. $12.67 for each one. And the plates are only good for 5 years...... So I am curious what does your state charge?
Point of reference, My 5 year old F150 is still over $300 per year.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
North Dakota has a one-time charge for a pioneer plate, but I don't remember how much it was. You never have to renew and there are no driving limitations.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Cow Hampshire
$15 New Antique - State $6 Renewal Antique - State $8 State Plate Fee (Usually done with new) $5 Town fee (all registrations) Town may impose additional "Improvement" charges as the voters approve. Vehicle tax - which reaches minimum after 6 years - about $20 IIRC. Also annual inspection with is $45 at my garage of choice (rates can vary) which includes the basic $20 safety inspection and an additional $25 "Environmental Inspection" (which is but another reason to pay him to say "yup it doesn't leak gas or smoke.")

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
It has tripled here in Alaska in the last few years on Historic Vehicle plates.
Up to $15.00 for a permanent plate and registration, Titles are also up to $15.00. Most modern everyday vehicles are $100.00 for a 2 year registration. This is online, if available, it will cost you an extra $10.00 if you show up at DMV to see a smiling face. Darryl in Fairbanks Temps are rising up to +7 |

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Bob,
Cool license topper. I grew up in western NY and when I rode along on the trip to Palmyra to buy groceries, I saw some "I LIKE IKE" banners hanging around town. I was too young to know what it meant, so I asked my mom about it. In Minnesota it cost me just under a couple hundred to change ownership on the Stude this summer, but now I have a collector plate for life. However on newer cars the plates cost based on car value. In other words we keep getting taxed every year on the same car, and this past year they now added a wheelage tax. |

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
I Utah I paid $200.00 for a life time plate. After a few years Utah changed the law and said my plate was no longer good. It now costs me $10.00 every year. I challanded this and wanted my $200.00 back and the State told me to forget it and pay the $10.00

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Antique vehicles are free of Road Tax (licence) in the UK :
Historic vehicles You don’t have to pay vehicle tax on vehicles made before 1 January 1974 (known as ‘historic vehicles’). Insurance rates are pretty reasonable if you accept certain limitations.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Illinois has two categories, Antique Vehicle, $6.00 a year or Extended Antique Vehicle, $51.00 a year. Difference is the months and reasons when your can drive on the roads. AV is for driving to and from gas stations, to and from events or shows only, year round. EAV has those same restrictions from 1 Nov- 28 Feb. From 1 Mar-31 Oct , no restrictions apply. Personal or Vanity Plates for either AV or EAV is a total of $90.00 a year.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Michigan antique plate $37.00 for 10 years, but the state also charges $39.00 per antique car each year with historic plate when you insure the car.
If you don't keep the insurance on the vehicle you are supposed to turn in the plate. Afordman31 Last edited by Afordman31; 11-24-2014 at 08:11 AM. Reason: added a couple of words to sentence |

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Joe,you must be getting your plates through the town clerk instead of going through the DMV.It avoids going to the DMV,but you pay fees for it.I just renewed 4 antiques,they were $15.per month each.The town part was $9.each,and the state part $6.each.The state bases it on 50 cents per month.I added two new registrations,it was still $15.total each.Most towns are now plate outlets for the state,but they all have varying fees to do it.There are no plate fees through the state.Depending where you are it can save you a lot of time.I'm in Epping,one mile from the registry.No tax,(well,the town tax that is in the $9).YOM plates are free.Just show them the plate,they record it,and hand you a hand written certificate saying you can use it.I don't know if you are aware of it,but no inspection is required when the vehicle reaches 60 years of age.Unless the word has gotten out most police officers will tell you that the inspection law says pre-49 is exempt.Most are unaware that the law was amended to set the age at 60 years and moves up every year.I have the amendment printed out and carry it to show.The state website is horrible to navigate,there are lots of laws that are couched in other voted in blocks that are hard to find.Seat belts aren't required for kids either,but the year cutoff for that has bounced between 1966 and 1968.Most seemed unaware of that too,so I carry a copy of the seatbelt law with me.

I still have my Antique Auto NH plate from 10 years ago. I suppose that one might be used now and save the plate fee. I've been looking over Ebay to see about buying a 1929 pair of NH plates. Christmas is not far away! The 60 year exemption makes sense: the last time I showed up at Sullivan Tire for my annual inspection, the tire jockey was seeking guidance from the manager on HOW EXACTLY to do an inspection on a car with mechanical brakes. "Just put the sticker on and don't worry about it" the manager says to him in a hushed voice. I'm sure the environmental inspection was done to the same high level of quality. If you can scan those two printouts (red above) you give the fine officers, I would appreciate your effort to send them to me. It's been 10 years since the Model A has been on the road (gosh time FLIES when you're not having fun also - maybe fun or not fun makes no difference?) I'll send you a PM with my Email addy. Joe K

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
I have the RSA for the inspection amendment,it is,RSA 266:62-A.It takes me hours to make my was around the state laws online.Then,to top it all off,at the bottom of the pages it tells you the online version is a guide,and to refer to the bound versions for the whole and in-effect laws.The tire shop is after your money,if you tell them you want an inspection they feel who are they to say no?We don't have any environmental inspection,the closest thing we have is the OBD plug in for 1996 and up cars and trucks under 8800 GVW.They may be calling it environmental inspection,it sounds important and a lot of people like the sound of it.Besides,it is a good excuse to peel some more money out of your pocket.Sullivan is no worse than any other chain automotive shop,they exist to part you with every penny they possibly can short of robbery.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
In Oregon it depends on the type of old car plates. The ones I have are for parades, short drives, etc. and they were somewhere around $200 for one time fee.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Arkansas is $25 one time. Vehicle must be 25 years old or older and in original condition. That means anything built in 1988 or earlier is eligible. See a lot of daily drivers tagged historical. Several years ago a state representative said a lot of people were flaunting the 2,000 miles per year restriction that went with historical registrations. He wanted to eliminate the historical registration program. The legislature concluded the program should continue and that the 2,000 mile annual restriction was "unenforceable" and it was dropped. I like Arkansas.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
$20 to register a Model A in GA for a year (well, until my birthday in July, then yearly). No need to apply for a title for a car older than 1963.
Wanted an Antique Car tag until I found out they cost $80 for no benefit other than the tag. |

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Yes sir, California Sucks for car registration. $100.00 for the '47, $90 for the '28, $129 for the '54 all have year of manufacture plates....... and that's PER YEAR. I think rock bottom is around $80 a year for any car.

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
My '33 Tudor was last licensed in Oregon in 1963 prior to moving out of state. In November 2012, I put it back on the road in Texas. It cost me $144.00 to register it with a license, etc. good until March 2013, 4 months time. The car has YOM plates and the March 2014 license charge was $61.00 for five (5) years. They gave me a small tag with 03 18 to bolt on the rear license plate. $5.00 per year is pretty good.
Things are good in TEXAS. larry |

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Well its nice to know that something is cheaper on this side of the pond as we pay zero to keep our elderly cars on the road in terms of taxes and attract very favourable insurance rates as well .

I hear tell, to receive the zero tax and reduced insurance rates, the driver is required to wear a derby??? You mean the UK doesn't require a VAT on elderly cars?

Re: High cost of licensing a Model A
Most all should feel lucky....... Massachusetts is $50 each year. Plates good until ruined. Renewal is December 1 each year - good until November 30 of the following year. Initial plate charge is the same and good until November 30, then renewal time all over again.
