Establishes motor vehicle registration for street rods and custom motor vehicles.

New Jersey's S 1836 creates a special registration system for street rods (vehicles resembling pre-1948 models) and custom motor vehicles (at least 25 years old with significant alterations). It allows eligible New Jersey residents to register these vehicles with a $50 one-time fee plus $10 annual fee, requiring certification that they won't be used for general transportation. Registered vehicles receive unique license plates with "Replica-Street Rod" or "Replica-Custom Motor Vehicle" markings and are exempt from modern safety equipment requirements that didn't exist when the vehicle was originally manufactured. The bill also permits the use of blue dot tail lights on these registered vehicles.
