Spotted this while walking through the Planet Hollywood (formerly the Aladdin) parking lot last night. A Chrysler LeBaron, aka a K-car, with ‘classic vehicle’ plates. I guess Nevada has a pity category for any of these still functioning. The designation is reserved for cool vehicles from the past like Sixties-era Mustangs or a Model T.
Now if this were pink and had Homer Simpson-esque modifications, I could behind the plates the car bears.
Antique and classic registrations are often cheaper or only have to be renewed every five years. Any car over a certain age can qualify (typically 25 years), but they have to be devoted show cars. Plenty of people get the plates on non-show cars, though, to save money; cops never know the regulations, and you can always claim you’re just driving it to the shop or some such.
