Re: [MBZ] W140 is now a classic
My 911 has classic tags in Va with similar exemptions as yours in Tx - I probably drive it a little more than I am supposed to but haven't been caught, *yet *;-) Our 91 300D is close to qualifying but since my wife drives it to work daily that won't work. I'm disabled so work is not a problem. Good luck - LarryT 91 300D On 4/4/2013 8:00 PM, Hans Neureiter wrote: TX calls for 25 years and older. Plates are issued for 5 years @ $ 48.

Re: [MBZ] W140 is now a classic
Florida has no such designation, only antique which is limited to the sorts of vehicles you would see in a parade. Wisconsin used to have a good classic registration, but they restricted the months of the year you could drive it in. In other words, times like December through February were a no-no. It was cheap, though - something like $45 for 2-3 years if I recall.

I suspect it's an end of life sort of thing. When they see the revenue from the parts going down below a certain point it's no longer profitable, so they push it off to the Classic Center.
