Authorizes street rod and custom vehicle owners to request special license plates inscribed with identifying words or markings approved by the registrar, in addition to existing historical vehicle or model year license plate options.

Requires certificates of title for street rods and custom vehicles to contain either the actual model year or the model year the body was constructed to resemble, with replicas marked with "r-replica" after the model year.
