section, the registrar may grant permission in writing to such
owner to operate such vehicle to and from a repair shop or
service station outside of its licensed zone of operation for
the limited purpose of repair or servicing. The application and
any permit issued under this subdivision shall state the
location of the repair or servicing facility, together with such
other information and subject to such conditions as the
registrar may specify. Any motor vehicle operated under such a
permit shall carry no load.
Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 168.018, is
amended to read:
168.018 [QUARTERLY REGISTRATION OF FARM TRUCKS.]
The owner of any farm truck as defined in section 168.011,
subdivision 17, may elect to register and license the farm truck

quarterly registration. The owner may not apply for quarterly
registration or renewal until seven days before the selected
quarter or concurrent quarters. The expiration date of a
registration shall be displayed on the license plate in such a
manner as the registrar shall direct. No farm truck registered
on a quarterly basis shall be operated on the public streets and
highways more than ten days beyond the end of the quarter for
which it is registered unless the registration has been renewed

year.

vehicles shall forthwith notify the court of such application.
The court may return the registration certificate of such
violator or owner to the registrar of motor vehicles, together
with its consent to the issuance of such registration plates to
such violator or owner. Thereupon the registrar of motor
vehicles shall issue such new registration plates. Until the
drivers license of such violator is reinstated, any new
registration plates issued to him or to an owner whose plates
have been impounded shall bear a special series number.
Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 168.053,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. Any person, firm, or corporation engaged in
the business of transporting motor vehicles, not his own, by
delivering, by drive-away or towing methods, either singly or by
means of the full mount method, the saddle mount method, the
tow-bar method, or any other combination thereof, and under
their own power, vehicles over the highways of the state from
the manufacturer or any other point of origin, to any point of
destination, within or without the state, shall make application
to the registrar for a drive-away in transit license. This
application for annual license shall be accompanied by a
registration fee of $250 and contain such information as the
registrar may require. Upon the filing of the application and
the payment of the fee, the registrar shall issue to each
drive-away operator a general distinguishing number, which
number must be carried and displayed by each motor vehicle in
like manner as is now provided by law for vehicles while being
operated upon the public highways on the power unit consistent
with section 169.79 and such number shall remain on the vehicle
from the manufacturer, or any point of origin, to any point of
destination while being operated within or beyond the state.
Additional plates bearing the same distinguishing number desired
by any drive-away operator may be secured from the registrar of
motor vehicles upon the payment of a fee of $2 for each set of
additional license plates. Any person, firm, or corporation
engaging in the business as a drive-away operator, of
transporting and delivering by means of full mount method, the
saddle mount method, the tow-bar method, or any combination
thereof, and under their own power, motor vehicles, who fails or
refuses to file or cause to be filed an application, as is
required by law, and to pay the fees therefor as the law
requires, shall be found guilty of violating the provisions of
sections 168.053 to 168.057; and, upon conviction, fined not
less than $50, and not more than $100, and all costs of court.
Each day so operating without securing the license and plates as
required therein shall constitute a separate offense within the
meaning thereof.
Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 168.09,
subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. When a motor vehicle registered in Minnesota, has
during the calendar year for which it is so registered, been
re-registered for the following year, the display on such motor
vehicle of the plates issued for such motor vehicle on its
re-registration for the following year shall on and after
November 15 of the calendar year in which it was so
re-registered constitute compliance with subdivision 1 requiring
display of plates except as provided in subdivision subdivisions
3 and 4.
Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 168.09,
subdivision 3, is amended to read:
Subd. 3. Plates or other insignia issued for a motor

year, and not earlier than November 15 January 1 of the

sections 168.017 or 168.187 for a period of 14 months for the
registration year 1978 to implement the provisions of this

Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 168.10,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [APPLICATION.] Except as provided in
subdivisions 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 1g, every owner of any motor
vehicle in this state, not exempted by section 168.012 or
168.26, shall as soon as ownership of a motor vehicle is
acquired and annually thereafter during the period November 15
to March 1 following, both dates inclusive provided in section
168.31, file with the commissioner of public safety on a blank

registration of such vehicle, stating the first, middle and last
names, the dates of birth, and addresses of all owners thereof

other owners, the name and address of the person from whom

manufacturer's identification number or serial number, type of
body, the weight of the vehicle in pounds, for trailers only,

accordingly. The listing and application for registration by
dealers or manufacturers' agents within the state, of motor
vehicles received for sale or use within the state shall be
accepted as compliance with the requirements of this chapter,
imposed upon the manufacturer.
Registration shall be refused a motor vehicle if the
original identification or serial number has been destroyed,
removed, altered, covered or defaced. However, if the
commissioner is satisfied on the sworn statements of the owner
or owners or such other persons as he may deem advisable that
the applicant is the legal owner, a special identification
number in the form prescribed by the commissioner shall be
assigned to the motor vehicle. When it has been determined that
the number had been affixed to such vehicle in a manner
prescribed by the commissioner, the vehicle may thereafter be
registered in the same manner as other motor vehicles. In the
case of a new or rebuilt motor vehicle manufactured or assembled
without an identification or serial number, the commissioner may
assign an identification number to the motor vehicle in the same
manner as prescribed heretofore.
Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 168.10,

person from whom purchased, the make of the motor vehicle, year

number and that the vehicle is owned and operated solely as a
collector's item and not for general transportation purposes.
If the registrar is satisfied that the affidavit is true and

list such vehicle for taxation and registration and shall issue
number plates.
The number plates so issued shall bear the inscription
"Pioneer," "Minnesota" and the registration number but no date.
The number plates are valid without renewal as long as the
vehicle is in existence and shall be issued for the applicant's
use only for such vehicle. The registrar has the power to
revoke said plates for failure to comply with this subdivision.

correct and that the motor vehicle qualifies to be classified as
a classic car, and the owner pays a $6 $25 tax, the registrar
shall list such vehicle for taxation and registration and shall
issue number plates.
The number plates so issued shall bear the inscription
"Classic Car," "Minnesota," and the registration number but no
date. The number plates are valid without renewal as long as
the vehicle is in existence and shall be issued for the
applicant's use only for such vehicle. The registrar has the
power to revoke said plates for failure to comply with this
subdivision.
In the event of the defacement, loss or destruction of such
number plates, the registrar, upon receiving and filing a sworn
statement of the vehicle owner, setting forth the circumstances,
together with any defaced plates and the payment of a $2 fee,

follows: An affidavit shall be executed stating the name and
address of the person from whom purchased and of the new owner,

statement of the vehicle owner, setting forth the circumstances,
together with any defaced plates and the payment of a $2 fee,
shall issue duplicate plates specially designed for that
