I would like to see our antique and collector registration go more like the system used in Washington State. The idea was that if you are keeping a thirty or forty year old vehicle, it was for sentimental purposes, or something like that. Not to use as a daily driver. These simple rules make life easier for the owners, and the government bureaucracy.
In Washington, a collector car is:
At least thirty years old; and
Capable of being operated upon the highway; and
Currently registered in Washington; and
Operated primarily as a collector vehicle may be issued a collector vehicle license plate.
An antique car is forty years old, instead of thirty.
The legislation can be read at

Being residents of Washington, maybe Tom H. or Fred H. could give us some input.
