Officially that is true, they are required to be a secondary vehicle and used only for exhibition purposes. That doesn't necessarily mean that you can't drive them wherever/whenever, as long as the purpose of driving is primarily to be seen. The caveat is that you are not supposed to use it for any other purpose, to the extent that if you have a bag of returnables in the vehicle to be brought to the redemption center you could technically be given a ticket for misuse of the plate. So, no tools in the vehicle, no errands, etc. In practice are you going to be pulled over for driving your antique to work? Probably not, but according to the laws of the state you can be.

Didn't seem like you understood that your opinion isn't fact at first. That's why I pointed it out to you.

You're the one that posted a stupid comment about the story. We're under no obligation to answer, but we both did anyway, just in different areas. I, at least, have learned that you can't really argue with stupid, but you can call it out.

They've changed a few times over the years, but you can check the state website for full current details.

There used to be a mileage limit I believe, but last I knew that is gone.

Last I knew: -25 model years old or older -Have to have at least one other regular vehicle registration for your DD. -no annual inspection required
