Something that is often referred to the SVAO by some of our members is the perceived misuse of Historic Plates. In that regard, here is the wording of the appropriate act: Highway Traffic Act Code de la route R.R.O. 1990, REGULATION 628 Amended to O. Reg. 183/05 VEHICLE PERMITS “historic vehicle” means, despite the definition in subsection 7 (1.1) of the Act, a motor vehicle that, (a) is at least 30 years old, (b) is operated on a highway in parades, for purposes of exhibition, tours or similar functions organized by a properly constituted automobile club or for purposes of repair, testing or demonstration for sale, (c) is substantially unchanged or unmodified from the original manufacturer’s product, and (d) does not have attached to it year-of-manufacture plates;
The SVAO would like to especially draw your attention to part(c). This part basically means that the vehicle is stock as the factory would have built it. If you run into some of those people who want to be a "country lawyer" and argue that their Chevy V-8 hot rod fits this catagory, just suggest that they ask the local constabulary or MTO offcial for an interpretation. In addition, the owner of the misplated vehicle has committed a fraud when he/she signed the license application as it requires that the vehicle meets the above criteria. Since the privatization of the licensing offices, we have had reports that some offices suggest that Historic Plates are appropriate for any 30 year old vehicle but such is not the case and will not get the owner off of the hook if charged with improper licensing. Reinforcement of this statute has been sent out to the offices by the government. Know the law and follow it is the best advice we can offer. The SVAO, along with a number of its member clubs, have been trying to get some new licensing catagories from the provincial ministry for a number of years and this perceived misuse of historic plates doesn't help our efforts.

It used to have a hilborn efi stack injection on an old sbc. When I swapped it to LQ4 I ran out of time and the car had to be moved. I had to ge t the car mobile so I slapped a carb on it and drove it to winter storage. Then when I had time I finished the wiring harness and installed the efi
It's funny, when I put the Cougar on the road this year, the lady tried to talk me into historical plates -"A car this old should really have historical plates". Knowing all the limitations I simply replied "no thanks" and she was quick with a "Why not?" Oh boy, here we go. "I'd like to take the car to work occasionally and maybe a trip to the beer store and modify it how and when I want" I briefly had collector car insurance too, but went back to regular insurance because of the limitations.
So, In Buktooth's defence: Did he knowingly understand the limitations? Or was he duped by a pushy sales person? The lady I spoke with has never seen my Cougar, didn't ask if it was modified and seemed a little put off that I turned down the offer.

when I had my 59 I was getting the plates for it and they told me the same thing get historical. I pointed out my bright yellow lowered truck out front and the girl said "oh" and proceeded with the regular plates.
