Antique Car Tags

[OwnerCS]

Since the Q is now 25 years old, I can license it with antique car tags. License fees for an antique are a "one time" $7 charge, no renewal required. Since there is no state inspection system here, there is no mileage tracking requirement. An antique car is not supposed to be a daily driver, which it is not.

Should I go with antique tags when it is time for renewal?

It sounds like a good deal to me. In SC we can get an antique plate but it only allows the car to be used in "club activities, exhibits, tours, parades and similar events, but shall not be used for general transportation." so it wouldn't work for my purposes. At 30 years old, I could use a "year of manufacture" plate - so it would be the style of plate that would have been on the car when it was manufactured. I still have a couple of them laying around. It wasn't my favorite plate ever, and the Carolina Wren on the plate was widely criticized by bird experts of not looking like a real wren - so I don't know if I'll do it or not.

ABSOLUTELY, DO IT.

I know this thread is a couple weeks old, but I'd be tempted to change mine (even if its just for a year so I can then hang the plates in the garage). I'm partial to my Snake though Keep Texas Wild plates support TX State Parks and Wildlife and they're a lot cheaper than other personal plates.
