My friend has Historic tags on her 1991 Ford Festiva. It is a nice car that would pass inspection, but you just got to ask yourself...Really!!!! And judging by alot of other cars on the road in Maryland that has Historic tags, Most that i see are piles of junk. I have not seen or heard about anyone getting hassled about thier Historic tags. Oh, my location may say PA, but i spend 90% of my time in MD.

where at in md?

Since an agent asked you it is true. Since you said it on the internet doesn't make it true.

OP. Read the law. Read what I posted. And what others have. Historic is the way to go with these cars or really anything eligible for it. Do it. Seems like all your internet friends are anyhow.

50$ man!
we can go down to any tag/title place and get some answers.
shit i'll be happy to take your money!

Tag and Title? MVA? Doesn't matter. I don't care what the $10/hr agent is trying to ask it is not a requirement. Read the law. Read the MVA form.The answers are there. I don't need an agent. I have the law and form in front of me. Just like you could.



Save your money. I don't need it.

None of it says that "you must have a regularly registered vehicle" .

Read Form VR-096 .

Of course you are to not use it as a DD. That is not the issue. That is obvious as a historic vehicle is clearly defined and later referred as a vehicle with limited use. This is where I keep qualifying that this is not routinely - dare I say ever - enforced. I know.

And it is not hostile at all. Take it how you will but there is some BS being said and this guy is looking for a clear answer. Read the law before the internet's johnny cochran of MVA policy and resident traffic enforcement liaison speaks.

That is not true! haha where are you getting this?

Read the form. I have it right here. The form only asks of the car you are wishing to register as historic.

The bottom of the disclaimer only says you understand it "will not be used for general daily transportation or primary for the transportation of passengers or property highways".

The lady at the counter can ask any other questions she wants, that is great and she has the opportunity to however it bears no significance to the application. How you answer - if you even answer - is up to you. But it is no required per the MVA nor their application.

Really? Where does annotated traffic law or MVA regs say so? Prove it? Look at the application, where does it ask about other vehicles?


You're implying that I cannot have a historic vehicle registered soly to me if I do not have another vehicle registered? So now the MVA cares if I have a car in the state or registered elsewhere? Here, my wife has all the cars in her name. Now what? I can't haZ historic? I ride the metro everyday and have a historic car for parades.

It is nice you have the idea of helping out the OP, but you are totally shoving him into the wrong path.

You have no proof. I am familiar with traffic law and the like. Prove it, I did.

OP: Get a car eligible for historic registration. It is just fine. I think it is a great deal, too. Read and realize the law and the implications of historic registration per the MVA. Then realize this registration classification is not a major enforcement issue.

Download the form and read it.

VR-096 is the form you want.

At the bottom

I/We, certify under oath that the vehicle will only be maintained for use in exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, occasional transportation
and similar uses. I/We further certify that this vehicle will not be used for general daily transportation or primarily for the transportation of pas-
sengers or property on highways.

my fucking proof is when i went to get my tags and they asked for that shit!

http://www.mva.maryland.gov/About-MVA/FAQ/default.htm#anchor313

read up on the mva law, here is a quote- " The vehicle owner further certifies the vehicle will not be used for general daily transportation or primarily for the transportation of passengers or property on highways"

ok so you certify that it will not be a daily driver...then what are you gonna use as your DD? call up a tag/title agency and ask them. i will put money down on this, i went through this BS last month!
50$ bro, money talks!

OP-no one really gives a fuck, yeah there are "rules" but they aren't enforced, you wont get in any trouble.
