Michigan allows residents to register their antique vehicle with a same-year
general
use Michigan license plate. Reproduction or remanufactured plates are not
allowed. The plate must display the correct colors for the plate year. The
registration fee is $35. An authentic plate registration processed after Jan.
1,
1997, is valid until the vehicle is sold, transferred, scrapped, or modified.
If you choose Historical Plates the fee is $30.00 due every 10 years. The
Antique Vehicle Plate statement from the Secretary of States office reads as
follows: "Since 1956, the state has issued historic and authentic license
plates for antique vehicles used in parades, fairs, car shows, swap meets and
other events. "Other events" leaves the door wide open for very broad
interpretation wouldn't you say?
Also there is an insurance fee for Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association
which is $145.00 added to your No-Fault Insurance policy. With Historic Plates
and Same Year plates the fee is only $29.00

One advantage to Antique plates here in Maine is that there are no requirements
for an annual inspection.
That makes a lot of sense, right? A new car needs an inspection, but a 60 year
old car does not! Hee hee!
