Mike:
Just for the record, I went through the CT process in August to get th C
registered. There is no longer any DMV reason to get a special plate
for your classic car, but they do offer it to you (no extra charge).
I foolishly thought they would be neat, so I took a set. They do have
only numbers (five digits), as you said, BUT they are called Early
American plates and they have the letters E A on them and some Model-T
like thing...a rather unpleasant surprise when I opened the envelope.
The C doesn't seem to care much, but it still disturbs me.
Anyway, if you register a LBC in CT just get the ordinary plates.
