    Antique and Classic plates usually have pretty restrictive use policies associated with them. Assuming you don’t ignore them and risk a ticket every time you drive outside those uses.

    For Oklahoma for instance:

    Affiant further states that the vehicle described above will travel highways of this state primarily incidental to historical or exhibition purposes only.

    From the application form: https://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/service-oklahoma/Documents/mv-forms/license-plate/763 Classic Vehicle Plate.pdf

    Given the antique registered vehicle is supposed to only be used on public roads in very limited scenarios, the small cost is appropriate, regardless of the specific vehicle.

      “Primarily” does a lot of heavy lifting there. Basically, it doesn’t outlaw using it in other manners so it wouldn’t be easily enforceable by a traffic cop. It would only really be brought forward as fraud if a prosecutor could prove you used it “primarily” for other reasons.

      And thats beyond saying that driving it, on its own, is not an exhibition purpose.
