    Re: Name that Vette Contest...sort of....

    Yeah...I think most folks get the antique/vintage registration insurance concept. It is GREAT thing to have and I hope that it never goes away. I checked my Hagerty policy which is pretty loosely defined...as are PA state guidelines. Pretty awesome that I register one time with one time fee in perpetuity...no subsequent reg required...no emissions inspections. Reality though is the frequency and type of use guidelines are not really enforceable...but that really isn't the point. If folks tried to game the system well that might end up ruining it for all. There is nothing that would stop someone from taking their low mileage survivor split window down to the corner store for a loaf of bread...but would anyone who truly values their collector car do something like that on a regular basis? Probably not. And even if you used it as a daily driver...if you were stopped just say your usual daily driver is in the shop. This whole notion of antique registration and associated insurance falls into the realm of the spirit and intent of the law....which MOST folks would follow. So back to our regularly scheduled program...I guess that rules out a plate of DLDR....daily driver...?? Any other suggestions? ;-)

        Well I have NCM insurance and I sure can’t go to the grocery store or the beach with my mid years. I would say that meets the definition of restriction. I have NCM on my 15 and that I can drive anywhere.
        Why? What part of your NCM policy restricts you from driving your classic car to the beach?

            Guess I got it good here in PA and with Hagerty....

            Penn DOT:
            “It is unlawful for any person to operate a motorcycle or vehicle with antique,classic, vintage, collectible or historic military vehicle registration plates for general daily transportation.Permitted use shall be limited to participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasionaltransportation and similar uses.” Occasional transportation and similar uses are defined as no more thanone day a week."

            Hagerty requires I keep it in a locked garage structure and "be used on a limited basis consistent with the operation of a collectible vehicle such as pleasure drives and club/hobby activities. ...not be used frequently for regular driving to and from work or school, shopping, errands, general transportation or back-up use." Also stipulates every driver in my house must have a separately insured daily driver....policy on my collectible can't be the only household policy...etc. etc.

            So....put this together and translation is...I can do whatever I want ...so long as I don't be stupid!! ;-) Stay within the spirit and intent...key words there...and all will be well. Even a full day trip to the beach...that is covered under "pleasure"...corner store for loaf of bread....covered by "occasional"...etc etc. I can even drive it to work....so long as it isn't every day...or at least not frequent. But with Covid my office is the basement...but that's a different topic...

              Well...we just got her fired up this week for first time in 20 years...needed condenser, rotor, cap, and points to get it there. She actually purred pretty good. Now to the million other things that need attention with it.

              Time is running out as I will need to submit paperwork soon...Soo...I'll keep appreciating suggestions for a while now...but probably have to make the call in the next 2 to 4 weeks. Will definitely revert back with what I go with.

                No need to, just read the American Modern policy and it doesn't state that. See Part D, Section G, Paragraph 13
