Overview: SEMA model legislation (A.B. 6563) to create a vehicle titling and registration classification for street rods and custom vehicles has been reintroduced in the New York State Assembly. The bill defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948. Under the bill, kit cars and replica vehicles will be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble.
