Ed,
That is good news, but in PA "classic cars" are defined as 15 years or 
older.  "Antique cars" at 25 years or older, never did need to be 
inspected.  Pictures are required to get a car registered as an antique 
and no state inspection is required after that.  My daily driver Subaru 
Alpine Sport wagon is 15 years old and I don't intend to put classic 
tags on it because then the mileage will be limited.
Nowadays a 15 year old car doesn't really seem that old.  My TD was 18 
years old when I bought it and seemed to be so far from a modern car, 
even in 1970.  My tricarb Healey was only 11 years old when I bought it 
in '73 and again seemed ancient compared to the current cars.  I have an 
'85 RX7 also and even though it will be an "antique" next year, it could 
easily be an everyday car today.  I guess the Brits were a bit behind 
the times.
Hard to believe in the current climate that the gov't would be letting 
up on regs for cars.
