| − | Wisconsin offers lifetime, non-expiring, non-personalized hobbyist license plates in the following categories:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | a)Reconstructed Vehicle
| + | |
| − | b)Motorized homemade vehicle
| + | |
| − | c)Street Modified Vehicle
| + | |
| − | d)Replica Vehicle
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A) RECONSTRUCTED VEHICLES are defined as follows:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Vehicle must be constructed from a vehicle at least 20 years old.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicle must no longer be recognizable as the original vehicle.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicle must be inspected by a Wisconsin State Patrol Officer.
| + | |
| − | * Application materials must include bills of sale for all major parts
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Reconstructed vehicles normally refer to a salvage (junked) vehicle which has been reconstructed but the original title was declared "salvaged". These vehicles must meet the safety standards which applied in the year the vehicle was originally built. Because of their unique nature (having a "salvaged title") most hot rods will NOT be titled under this category. Some rodders also avoid this category because of the required state safety inspection.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | B) MOTORIZED HOMEMADE VEHICLES are defined as follows:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Homemade motor vehicles, other than motorcycles, qualify for Hobbyist plates.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicle must have been constructed from new or used parts not originating from or
| + | |
| − | resembling a previously manufactured motor vehicle.
| + | |
| − | * Homemade motorcycles that replicate a cycle at least 20 years old.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicle must be inspected by a Wisconsin State Patrol Officer.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Homemade Vehicle category is the most difficult of all the categories because it requires that the vehicle pass the safety requirements for the year the vehicle was COMPLETED - not the year it might replicate or mimic. For example, if the car was completed in 2006, it would have to meet the exact same safety and pollution standards as a 2006 Lexus. Most rodders avoid this category like the plague.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | C) STREET MODIFIED VEHICLES are defined as follows:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Vehicle must be at least 20 years old.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicle may be modified from the original manufacturer's specifications.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicle can still be recognized as the original year and make.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicles are typically known as "hot rods" or "street rods."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | By its very definition, this is the category most hot rods fit into. In order to title a vehicle in this category the owner must file [http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/forms/mv2855.pdf form MV2855]. This is a surprisingly simple PDF form which designates the VIN, year, model and weight of the car along with your name and address. Most notably this form also serves as a "self affirmation" that the vehicle meets all applicable state safety requirements. In the case of Street Modified and Replica vehicles, the applicable safety requirements are those that were in effect IN THE YEAR THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED. Thus, if you have a 1932 Ford, you must meet the safety requires that were in effect in 1932. There is no state safety inspection required for vehicles in this category. It should be noted, however, that state or local police CAN cite you for safety violations if they should stop you and determine you are not in compliance. In the event this happens, the owner needs to be intimately familiar with the state code governing these vehicles.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In order to title the vehicle the owner should take the original title for the vehicle along with a completed form MV2855 to the local DMV office where they will also fill out form MV-1 which is the standard "Title/License Plate Application".
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Street Modified vehicles qualify for either a normal license plate (personalized plates, etc.) or a Hobbyist Plate. The advantage of a hobby plate is that you pay a one time fee, approximately $160, but then the plate is good for your lifetime. It can also be transferred to another car should you sell the existing car and purchase another which also qualifies for the Hobby plate. If you purchase additional qualified vehicles, the plate cost for each is reduced to $110.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In the event the owner does not have a title (but the vehicle has an original VIN) you must apply for a replacement title using state form MV-1. The WDOT may require that the VIN be inspected and certified by a law enforcement officer (state or local police) and then their certification forwarded to the WDOT.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | D) REPLICA VEHICLES are defined as follows:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Vehicle is a reproduction of a vehicle originally made by another manufacturer.
| + | |
| − | * Vehicle must replicate a vehicle at least 20 years old.
| + | |
| − | * "Kit cars" may be replicas.
| + | |
| − | * May need to have MV2855 PDF completed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Replica Vehicle category is quite similar to the Street Modified category but applies when the builder has purchased the major components (body, chassis, etc) new from an after market manufacturer rather than assembling older parts from original vehicles. In many cases these manufacturers will supply a certification of construction along with a bill of sale. In most cases, however, these vehicles will not have a VIN and the owner will have to follow the process for obtaining a VIN as described below.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Replica Vehicles do not require a state safety inspection. Instead, the owner will complete [http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/forms/mv2855.pdf form MV2855] to "self certify" that the vehicle meets all required safety standards. As with Street Modified vehicles, the applicable safety standards are those for the year the car replicates. For example, if you have 1932 Ford kit car, it must meet the safety requirements in place during 1932.
