    CA DMV code for avoiding registration fees on old cars:
    Vehicle code section 4604 (d) (3) exempts vehicles described in VC 5004 from the Planned Non-operation program. VC 5004 describes vehicles of historic value ("at least 25 years old and of historic interest").
    It does not say that the car has to be registered under 5004, just has to meet the description.
