Trump Spares Classic Cars from Tariffs….. For Now
It looks as though classic cars have received a last-minute reprieve from the Trump Administration’s tariffs. In a document published to the Federal Register, there appears to be an exemption carved out for vehicles 25 years or older. This certainly provides no relief for fans of Supercars and Youngtimer collectible cars as well as daily driver imports, but for now classic and JDM cars seem to be spared. It remains unclear how this will affect classic car parts, as those tariffs are not set to take effect until May 3rd.
This is most assuredly an ongoing story…..
