IL has two types of 'antique' plates:
- Antique Vehicle License Plates. Vehicles displaying these plates may only be driven to and from an antique auto show or exhibition, service station or demonstration. $30 for 5 years. Only this type of register vehicle may display YOM plate (carrying the actual AV plates in the car.)
- Expanded-Use Antique License Plates. Vehicles displaying these plates during the months of January-March and November-December may only be driven to and from an antique auto show or exhibition, service station or demonstration. Vehicles displaying these plates during the months of April-October may be driven on the highways without being subject to the restrictions of a standard antique vehicle plate. $51 per year.
I do not wish to be restricted on how and where I can drive my roadster, so I register as a regular passenger car - $99 per year. technically, I cannot display YOM plates. But I choose to do so anyway - I have the correct passenger plate on the rear and my '31 plate on front.
Here's to your success in getting NJ to allow YOM plates...
