Historic Vehicle. A vehicle that is over 25 years old, and that is owned solely as a collector's item and for participation in club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades, and similar uses, including mechanical testing, but is not used for general transportation. For purposes of this section, use of the vehicle during the month of August in each year is considered an exhibition.

Older Model Vehicle. A vehicle weighing 8,000 pounds or less, manufactured in the sixth model year immediately preceding the current model year, or manufactured in any model year before that model year; or, if more than 8,000 pounds, a vehicle manufactured in a model year preceding the fifteenth model year before the current model year.

Reconditioning. Involves improving certain portions of the vehicle. The work involved is usually more than paint work but less than restoration. Example: replacing quarter panels, door skins or floorboards without restoring the engine compartment or drive train
