Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill Reintroduced in New Jersey

   A version of SEMA model legislation (A.B. 2636) that would create a vehicle
   registration classification for street rods and replica custom vehicles and
   provide for special license plates for these vehicles was reintroduced in
   the New Jersey Assembly.  Last year, comparable legislation was not enacted
   into law in New Jersey prior to the legislature?s adjournment.  A.B. 2626
   defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1948 and a
   custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after
   1948.  The bill allows kit cars and replica vehicles to be assigned a
   certificate of title bearing the same model year designation the body of the
   vehicle most closely resembles.

We Urge You to Contact All Members of the Assembly Transportation, Public Works
and Independent Authorities Committee (List Attached Below) Immediately to
Request Their Support for A.B. 2636

     * A.B. 2636 provides specific registration/titling classes and license
       plates for street rods and customs.

     * A.B. 2636 only holds street rods and customs to the equipment standards
       specified by law during the model year listed on the title of the
       vehicle.

     * A.B. 2636 provides that a replica vehicle will be assigned the same
       model year designation as the production vehicle it most closely
       resembles.

     * A.B. 2636 permits street rods and custom vehicles to display blue dot
       taillights.

     * A.B. 2636 provides that vehicles titled and registered as street rods
       and custom vehicles may be used for occasional transportation,
       exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, etc. and not for general
       daily transportation.

   _DON?T DELAY!__  Please contact the members of the Assembly Transportation,
   Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee to request their support
   for A.B. 2636._  Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald

  Good idea. If we all send e-mails we might get it done this year.

Last year we had the club members sign a petition to that effect. Then we sent a copy to all those who were on the commitee.

  We could do the same thing again.
