46:48The definition of an antique car varies by organization and legal purpose. Generally, an antique car is a vehicle that is at least 25–45 years old, or manufactured before World War II. However, some antique car collectors consider any car that is more than 20 years old to be an antique. A car is considered a classic in Mississippi if it's at least 25 years old. When a vehicle in Mississippi meets these requirements, the owner can register it as an antique vehicle, which will allow the car to use special license plates.Special Guest: PeteEmail the show: auto@mpbonline.orgRecalls: Check for Recalls: Vehicle, Car Seat, Tire, Equipment | NHTSANews: Mississippi claims No. 1 spot on USA Today's best car shows of the yearAuto Casey Car Review: 2025 Subaru Forester | Short Take
