Legal through Canada?

Haha. took them long enough to realize that the back should too.
And we as drivers would be lucky enough to hit the dash, we'd just go into the steering wheel haha.

Or the steering wheel could come through YOU! Steering columns weren't collapsable back then.

Be advised that the top ten communities for highest gas prices in North America are all in the Lower Mainland region of B.C., according to Gasbuddy.com.

If you are entering Canada at the Blaine or Sumas border crossings, fill up in Washington before entering Canada, and avoid buying fuel in B.C. until you reach Chilliwack, at least.

If you have a Costco membership, the Costco just north of the Sumas border crossing often has a discount of 10 to 15 cents a litre or up to about 50 cents a US gallon. Otherwise, as gordr says, use gasbuddy.

In the US, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 209, requiring seat belts for the front seats, became effective on March 1, 1967. It was NOT retroactive, and vehicles built before that date are not required to have seat belts. In addition, other Federal safety regs allow states to exempt vehicles with antique/historic plates from all safety and emissions standards that were not required when the vehicle was built. Despite this permissive reg, many states require ALL vehicles to have working head lights, tail lights, brake lights, a horn, undamaged glass, etc.

So if I pass through a state with the "All Vehicle" requirement is my Alaska registered car legal?

Yes. If it's legal in Alaska, then you're legal anywhere in the US, and I assume in Canada, too. (That's assuming you're only talking about things like seat belts and directional signals. I assume Alaska, like all other states, has required things like working headlights and brake lights, since at least the 1940s.)

I should be good though I'm not sure about the horn or the license plate light. I can rig something if they aren't functional.

The Imperial gallon is long gone all litres here, for a comparison, a litre is nearly equal an American quart, there is about a cap full difference maby about 1/2 oz, so generally 4 us quarts to one us gallon and also nearly 4 litres to a US gallon accept for a couple of ozs. Using the Imperial as reference there are 5 litres per gallon. So to make life easy just consider our litres as the same as a US quart (they are not exact but close enough for general calculations). So if you see reg grade gas at $1.30 therefore X 4 =$5.20 for a US gallon and at $1.40 = $5.60 for a US gallon. Dave

Thanks Dave, I should know that already but a tragic lack of education puts me in the position of looking everything up. Your tip will make it easy to calculate fuel costs.
