Collector Plates Craziness

[weq92f]

Just went through something similar in Texas for my '67. Here the registration of a classic or antique vehicle is based on date of manufacture with no inspection of the vehicle. The state will issue classic/antique tags if you want or, like in my case, the owner can submit real used state license plates of the correct vintage ( 1967 for me ) to be inspected and approved for use on the vehicle.

I got the license plates off an auction site and took them to the DMV for approval. No issues at all.

I went 'Classic' so there are no restrictions on use and still require annual safety inspection. Could have gone 'Antique' which is similar but reduces all the fees down to nearly nothing and no annual safety inspection. The difference is that there are restrictions for how it can be used on the streets ( mostly to and from shows only ).
