A car is considered a classic in Washington if it's at least 30 years old, the vehicle registration is current, it's capable of operating on the highway, and it has been owned as a collector vehicle. When a vehicle in Washington meets these requirements, the owner can register it as a collector's vehicle, which will limit the car's use. Specifically, classic cars in Washington can only be used for auto shows, circuses, parades, displays, special excursions, and antique car club meetings.

Keep in mind that even if your vehicle is registered as a classic car in Washington, it might not qualify for classic car insurance from certain companies. Each classic car insurer has its own eligibility requirements, so your car will need to meet those standards in order to qualify.
