PA Antique tag question
Question for anyone with an antique tag in Pennsylvania....
I converted my PA classic car tag to an Antique and just received the new tag and owner's card in the mail today. I had to send in my actual title with the application and they didn't return it nor send a new one with the new tag. I plan to call them Monday morning but, wanted to check if anyone here knows if they send a title back separately from the tag.
Thanks,
Chris

I went with Classic plates after checking with my insurance agent. I didn't want to have an incident in the evening cruising to the store 
and then have issues with coverage. Now that I have the classic plate I am glad to have the annual inspection on my 77 survivor. Might want to check with insurance agent though just to be safe.
Enjoy

Antique vehicles operated exclusively between sunrise and sunset are exempt
from the normal lighting requirements of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, but must have their original lighting equipment.
I take that to say...if I have the propper lighting I can drive it after dark.

The no night driving was for much older cars with the 6 volt systems and the ones with oil lanturns as lights. I guess they never changed the rule as newer cars started to become old enough to be antiques.

After 3yrs in Pennsy I'm back in Florida where I belong and this tag is no longer on the Vette, but I went thru all those questions and issues that are being discussed. Chances are that you won't get any hassle over night driving , just don't forget that Pennsy has all those small Township$/Borough$ and ticket$ are important for the budget$, so you'll be playing the odds to a certain degree.
