It was a decent day weather wise today, so I took out the 57 to get its yearly inspection. In New York State the historical vehicles only get a safety inspection. I live in N***au County which is a lot more old car friendly than New York City is. I also got an out of topic Muscle Car done too. Are there any states that do not have inspections for the older cars? I like to get my inspections done now so they are ready when the spring comes.
Out of the rustbelt, inspections aren't really so necessary. Nothing at all where I live, for new or old cars. The chart lays it out well.
With historic plates on a vehicle in Missouri no inspection or tag renewal is ever necessary. The downside is that you're only supposed to use the car 1000 miles a year for pleasure use, but that doesn't apply to going to shows or using it for educational purposes. I think that's how it's worded. You're supposed to keep a log book for personal use, but I've only heard of one person ever having an issue over that. Lynn
Idaho tried safety inspections from '68 until the mid -'70s. Most people figured out that sending $2 to your favorite inspection station with your registration would get your windshield sticker by return mail in a few days.
No safety inspections in Iowa currently......although my 38 Chevy still has the inspection sticker in the windshield from the late 70's?? when they did have inspections.
