Antique plates, on WHAT!!!

[Straightpipes]

Lots of rules here... I just drive my '35 coupe with old '35 plates on it. The "new" plates are under the seat.

I've got full registration so I'm not affected, but it's tough on folk who own several vehicles which are for occasional use only.

I'm afraid you are right about all the miss-use bringing this to an end.
I could never keep my cars if they were taxed at real value.
On the other hand some of the 20 year old cars I see with Historic plates are worth less than the taxed value. I wonder how it all effects our collector car insurance rates because some of those cars are used every day.

As others said Florida is easy, no inspection,no limit on driving,and its cheaper to get antique tags. I might offend some people but I don't think anything after the 50s should have antique tags. But the mid 80s come on maybe a "junk" tag. Although so few of those pieces of junk survived they are kind of rare.
