License plate differences

[robert shreveport]

In La. What is the difference in running normally issued DMV issued plates and La. 31 yr. Car plates, and Antique plates. Inspection, insurance???

[todd j]

Cars 40 yrs. and older do not require state inspections in La. If using a year of manufacture plate from 1931 it has to be the plate stamped "rear". As far as insurance I don't think it matters at all which plate is on it. That should not change the rate.
