So it burns a little oil. In Fla that's mosquito control, right?
I know what you mean, though. In Ohio, for historical plates, the car must
be 25 years old and you can only drive to car shows and events. That's it.
There is a "shade"-ey tree mechanic a few blocks from my house. His 1973
Monte Carlo junker that sits out on the street (because his garage is really
a public repair facility) has historical plates on it. Why? Because they
have no expiration date and they only cost $25!
There is a " Collector " plate available also.
