Well... I had checked the website on that and Antique plates in Illinois suck!
This is what IDOT has:
"Vehicles displaying Antique Plates may only be driven to and from an antique
auto show or exhibition, service station or demonstration. The mechanical and
physical condition of the vehicle, including brakes, lights, glass and
appearance, must be the same or as safe as originally equipped."
I actually drive my roadsters to and from work. Yeah, it puts mileage on the
car, but I really don't like very many other cars out there and would rather
sink money into the roadsters instead!
Thanks for the thought!
