Just spoke to DMV in NY and they say that when a car reaches it's 26th year it no longer needs to be tested for emissions. A NY safety inspection ("normal" inspection is safety & emissions) is $10. I just got my car inspected so it is good for another year 0 next year I won't need to pass emissions :-) $10/year is much nicer then $37/year... No need to get historic plates in NY to avoid emissions testing... besides you can't get personalized plates in NY that are historic. So, I get to keep my STNLESS plate either way. regards, Michael Paine vin 6067 On Fri, 21 Apr 2006 18:08:44 -0000 "David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >In New Jersey a car has to be 25 years old to qualify for >Historic >Plates.
