If you are restoring a car do you have to carry insurance on the car in the state of Illinois? |
Also does anyone know how old your car has to be to be licensed as an antique vehicle or what the requirements are? If it's driven or even parked on public right of way, you have to have insurance. As to antique plates, here are the rules for Illinois: Q. How old must a vehicle be to qualify for antique plates? A. Motor vehicles, including motorcycles and bona fide replicas, must be more than 25 years old. Firefighting vehicles must be at least 20 years old. Q. What is the difference between a bona fide replica and a facsimile? A. A bona fide replica is an exact copy of the original in design, frame, and mechanical operation. A facsimile is a close, but not exact, reproduction of the original; some contemporary parts are used. Facsimiles do not qualify for antique plates. Q. What restrictions are placed on vehicles displaying antique plates? A. 1. The vehicles may be driven only to and from an antique auto show or exhibition, service station or demonstration. 2. The mechanical and physical condition of the vehicles, including brakes, lights, glass and appearance, must be of the same or as safe as originally equipped. Q. What is the registration period for antique plates? A. Plates are issued for a five year registration period, expiring on Dec. 31, 2004. Q. What documents are needed when applying for antique plates? A. 1. Verification of use and condition of the antique vehicle. 2. Application for title and/or registration with applicable fee and current ID card or assigned title. If the vehicle is already titled in your name, send a copy of the title, not the original. If a title is not available, contact the Title Section to inquire about obtaining a title. Q. May I display historical license plates on my antique vehicle? A. Yes. Historical plates representing the model year of the vehicle may be displayed, provided the owner has valid, current antique license plates. The plates and registration card must be kept in the vehicle at all times. Q. How many sets of antique plates may I apply for? A. One set for each eligible antique vehicle. Q. May I obtain antique plates if I have a vehicle currently registered with other license plates? A. Yes. Use the date that your application was submitted to the Secretary of State to determine the fee (see fee page). Q. May I obtain antique plates if I have a vehicle that was previously registered in another state? A. Yes. Use the date that your application for title and registration was submitted to the Secretary of State to determine the fee (see fee page). Q. May I obtain antique plates if I have recently purchased a vehicle? A. Yes. Use the date of purchase to determine the fee (see fee page). Source(s): http://www.chicagolandmgclub.com/techtip... No insurance = no coverage. Please call your local State Farm agent. The Book of Jack only if you drive the car,yes If you're driving it, it has to have insurance. If it's an antique, classic, custom, hot rod, etc., get your insurance through Hagerty, they'll cover your car at an agreed on amount, others won't. Old timer/antique plates won't allow you to drive the car all the time. you can only drive it for special occasions, ie, car shows, parades, car tours and occasionally for fun. |
