My '84 just got registered in Texas as an antique vehicle.
That's right, in Texas if you're vehicle is 25 years+ it qualifies for antique status.
Benefits include:
$60 for 5 years of registration...including a license plate stating that it is an antique vehicle. (Just sounds strange to me)
No front license plate requirement
No emissions check, just a safety inspection for $14.
Couple that with collector car insurance, now it really doesn't cost me much to own this car

In Arkansas the vehicle has to be 25 years or older. We don't have state inspections nor front plates nor emissions tests on any vehicle. No way I am putting one on mine in a few years, Arkansas' antiques plates are butt ugly:

25 years too here in south Louisiana.
But I pull the plates off and drop insurance every Oct. for hunting season.
Costs $11 to put a 4 year plate, $10. for a state inspection decal that they dont really inspect anything but insurance, DL, window tint, and mileage.

I know in many states, if you can find a plate from the year of your "antique" car, they will let you register that plate (assuming the number's not still in use) and you can use that plate!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
