Some of the shows that I watch that visit these types of events would be "My
Classic Car" which is shown on TNN, there is another show on ESPN but I can't
remember the name.  I will try to find it out tonight.

Not really sure, but it can't hurt trying.

I live in Illinois which has historical plates.  When I licensed my B I had the
chance to do this but opted out.  The price on the plates was great something
like $140 for five years I think.  The only problem is that there was driving
distance regulations and you could only take the car out for a show or repairs.
That wasn't going to work for me.  If you don't drive the car that much it would
probably be great but if you do I would think standard plates would be best.

Take care,
