Good Morning!

We recently moved from Michigan and Massachusetts with our '76 Palm Beach. I went to register it at the RMV where I was surprised to learn that it's age does not exclude it from passing the state inspection. Does anyone have experience with the MA emissions standard? Is there anything I can do ahead of time to help her pass?

Thanks to you all!

Hello Sara,
Down here in Texas we can register it as a "Antique Vehicle". With that type of registration you don't need a state inspection or smog check.
I don't know if New York has the same, but it is worth checking.
Good luck! Scott

No emissions testing safety only.
So lights, exhaust tires brakes Windows mirrors seat belts horn. I believe that is it.
I' m going for my inspection Sunday so I may have more information then.
