Thanks
Dr Deuce
Just received this message. Looks like we need to get the word out on this
really fast. This could be disasterous for BIG military trucks that are now
registered as antiques. Jeeps would only go up a little - I just can't
imagine what it would cost to register a deuce! If you already have
something about this in the works, so much the better.

>> LEGISLATIVE ALERT
>>
>> New Hampshire Introduces Bill to Increase Registration Fees for
>> Older Vehicles (Model Years 1943-1974)
>>
>> A bill (H.B. 639) has been introduced in the New Hampshire
>> legislature
>> that would change current law to significantly and unfairly reduce the
>> numbers of vehicles and motorcycles that could register as antiques.
>> Under the bill, only vehicles manufactured in 1942 or earlier could
>> register as antiques and qualify for reduced registration fees. This
>> bill would directly affect all vehicles manufactured between 1943-1974
>> that were previously registered as antiques.
>>
>> We Urge You to Contact Your State Legislators to Oppose H.B. 639
>>
>> H.B. 639 is a blatant attempt to fill state coffers on the backs of
>> vehicle collectors and hobbyists.
>>
>> H.B. 639 raises the registration fee from $6 to $25.20 for model year
>> 1943-1974 passenger vehicles. The cost will be even more for a
>> full-size
>> car or truck.
>>
>> H.B. 639 forces model year 1943-1974 vehicles to undergo the same
>> emissions testing requirements as newer cars.
>>
>> H.B. 639 takes away the right of owners of model year 1943-1974
>> vehicles
>>
>> to display year of vehicle manufacture license plates.
>>
>> H.B. 639 eliminates the prestige and added value of owning a 1943-1974
>> vehicle that the term -antique- confers. Losing the antique
>> registration status can also have a negative effect on obtaining
>> classic
>>
>> car insurance and on potential resale value.
>>
>> Contact the New Hampshire House Transportation Committee members (see
>> attached list) and your own state legislators immediately to oppose
