Massachusetts Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill Approved by Legislature; Moves to Governor for Signature ​

In a flurry of last minute activity, SEMA model legislation (now known as H.B. 5194) to create a vehicle registration classification for street rods and custom vehicles was approved by the Massachusetts State Legislature and now awaits the signature of the governor before becoming law. H.B. 5194 defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948. The bill allows kit cars and replica vehicles to be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model year designation as the production vehicles they most closely resemble.

One of the few good laws to come from that state...I hope you guys get it signed. That is cool.

 

WOW! Don't tell me they are going do finally do something right in this state? I'm going to call, but I'm shure if the tree hugers get wind of it we will be screwed again!!!

 

Your reply shows your ignorance. All the old tine clubs up here spell it that way on purpose. End of discussion.

 

Are you ripping on that guy's signature? Good grief.

 

And you're a genius.-MIKE

not the ONLY decent law to be passed around here. they did get rid of the fender requirement on pre 49 vehicles about 5 years ago. that one made getting the roadster inspected much easier.
