Under Maryland law, a historic vehicle includes a passenger vehicle, motorcycle or truck that is at least 20 years old and has not been substantially altered from the manufacturer's original design. A street rod is a motor vehicle that is 25 years old or older and has been substantially altered from the manufacturer's original design.

A SEMA-supported bill introduced in New Hampshire recognizes that ethanol increases water formation, which can then corrode metals and dissolve plastics and rubber, especially over a period of time when the vehicle is not used.

SEMA-supported legislation that prohibits a person from selling or offering for sale gasoline that contains corn-based ethanol as an additive at a level greater than 10% was introduced in New Hampshire. A similar bill was signed into law last year in Maine. The bill recognizes that ethanol increases water formation, which can then corrode metals and dissolve plastics and rubber, especially over a period of time when the vehicle is not used.

Current high-performance specialty parts, along with pre-model-year ’01 cars and parts, may be most susceptible to corrosion. Further, there has been an inability to obtain unblended gasoline for engines that may be damaged by ethanol.
