Hi all,

I have a '92 Mustang and '87 911 that I'd like to register as historic. They currently have regular MD plates.

Anyone been through this? I plan on taking current registration and proof of insurance...anything else I need besides the MD forms?

Trying to do this in one MVA trip

Advise appreciated.

Thanks!

I put Historic Tags on my 79 928. It was simple.
Here's the info needed

To be registered as a historic vehicle (class L), your vehicle must be a passenger vehicle, motorcycle or truck (with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less): be 20 calendar years old or older and must not have been substantially altered, remodeled or remanufactured from the manufacturers original design.

A vehicle registered as historic cannot be used for general daily transportation, or primarily for the transportation of passengers or property on highways. It can only be used in exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, occasional transportation and similar uses. A trailer does not qualify for historic registration.

Thanks Gary. Any advice on the process at DMV?

Not really any super advice. I just went in and said my car is 20 + years old and that I would like to have historic tags. Done-

Did you have to bring them your existing tags?

VU,

You don't need to take the title/s with you.. however, taking the tags in saves you a return trip as you are supposed to turn in the old tags.. especially if they are current.

Thanks all, just took the registration forms and insurance cards. Was quite simple until.....I told them I wanted to keep my personalized tags too.

They looked at me like I had two heads.

So I just went ahead with the historic registration there and then went online last night to "reorder" my personalized tags.

I wonder if my personalized tags will have historic on them?

LOL, VA started issuing personal historic tags a couple years ago!
