Any vehicle driven on PA roads must have insurance. While plates match the cars vin, they belong to the owner who bought them. Therefore, if you buy the car no tags are required until its road worthy. Your Dads insurance is only good for you if you are listed on the policy as a household driver. Usually a spouse is on the policy which is why the Jeep was able to be tagged. He can call his insurance to list the car under his insurance, but why bother if it cant be driven? Usually with antique cars you just transfer the title. When road worthy you go to a notary and get tags for it after showing proof of insurance. AAA will guide you thru the tag process when road worthy. Only title transfer is necessary at this time. If you get the tag with the car you can reregister it as yours at the notary when you show proof of insurance and the transferred title.

I lived in Millmont area when an entire block blew up from a gas leak. No one had gas. It was the degraded underground pipes from heavy truck traffic creating a leak that fill an open space and leaked into basements. Guy comes home from work, inserts key in door, static of metal click or flip of light switch —-boom as he opened the door. Lost his entire family. UGI was called. Didnt find it in time. No boomer released any balloons. Balloons are so 1980s! Boomers taught us how to eat with a fork !

History: the town was called Mauck Chunk, a native american name. JT ‘s 3rd wife shopped around the US for a town and if they changed its name in honour of JT she would give them his remains-ie burial plot for Thorpe. They agreed. Nothing was stolen. Nothing bribed. His wife was legit. married to him and wanted him honored forever. Mauck Chunk did not want Asa Packers Lehigh University built there bc of drunken college kids. So it thrives barely as s tourist attraction. With an added train ride. Its a nice scenic town with a long history from the Molly Maguires to Jim Thorpe.
