While that is generally true, I've never heard of anyone having
any problems with new plates on "collector" cars. There was a
"situation" in Pennsylvannia where the state charged a vendor(s)
with violation of the state law for selling blank plates, I don't
know how it turned out, but such blank plates for almost any
common collectable car are still readily available.
As for telling the DMV, that (IMHO) will open up a big "can-o-worms"
and maybe be more harmful than helpful. I'd say as long as the
new plate has the old info the same, who's ever gonna be the
wiser?
Just my .02, your mileage may vary with use.
