Wow! Pretty interesting pair of cars from the sound of it, sound like cyclecars. Can you post some pictures please?

As far as I know, antique cars don't have to have seat belts as long as they are registered as antique vehicles with appropriate plates. Ditto I believe for parking brakes.

In Iowa,if seat belts didn't come on the vehicle, you're not required to have them. Post 1964,I think. No additional lights or turn signals, If they didn't come on the car. I have the same license plate on my 23 truck that's on my modern truck. We used to have plates labeled "Antique" and as I remember you could only drive to special events, limited mileage, parades, etc. I think they dropped that because they were cheaper.
