I found the exact law on the Florida books below. Looks encouraging.
Title XXIII
MOTOR VEHICLES
Chapter 319
TITLE CERTIFICATES
319.14 Sale of motor vehicles registered or used as taxicabs, police vehicles, lease vehicles, rebuilt vehicles, nonconforming vehicles, custom vehicles, or street rod vehicles; conversion of low-speed vehicles.—
12. “Street rod” means a motor vehicle that:
a. Is of a model year of 1948 or older or was manufactured after 1948 to resemble a vehicle of a model year of 1948 or older; and
b. Has been altered from the manufacturer’s original design or has a body constructed from nonoriginal materials.
The model year and year of manufacture that the body of a street rod resembles is the model year and year of manufacture listed on the certificate of title, regardless of when the vehicle was actually manufactured.
