Watch the video below, then take action. It truly only takes a couple of minutes.
Maryland car enthusiasts, this is one of those moments where silence equals consent.
Changes affecting Maryland Historic Plates are moving through the Senate. Whether you own a classic, a collectible, a street rod, or a future historic vehicle, this matters. These rules shape how our vehicles are registered, how they are classified, and how our hobby is treated going forward.
The good news?
You do not need to drive to Annapolis.
You do not need to prepare a long speech.
You do not need to be a policy expert.
You simply need to check a box and submit your position.
Why This Matters
Historic plate eligibility impacts:
- Current classic car owners
- Future collectors
- Street rod enthusiasts
- The next generation of car hobbyists
If we allow arbitrary cutoffs or poorly structured rules to stand without feedback, they will become permanent. Over time, that affects more and more vehicles.
Today it might not affect your car.
Five years from now, it might.
This is about protecting automotive heritage in Maryland.
It Takes Minutes
The Maryland General Assembly allows virtual testimony submission. That means:
- Register online
- Select the bill
- Indicate your position
- Submit
That’s it.
You do not have to appear in person.
You do not have to speak publicly.
You just have to show that the car community is paying attention.
When lawmakers see volume, it matters.
The Car Community Has to Show Up
Maryland has a strong collector and enthusiast base. From AACA members to local car clubs, from street rods to modern classics, we are not a small group.
But numbers only matter if they are visible.
If you have ever enjoyed:
- A local car show
- A parade
- A weekend cruise
- Working on a project car with your kids
- Preserving automotive history
Then this is your moment to stand up for it.
Take Action Now
Take two minutes.
Check the box.

Because protecting Historic Plates is not just about paperwork. It is about protecting the future of the hobby in Maryland.
