She's wrong on the safety inspection...straight from the DMV website:   
Clearly states exempted from Safety AND Emissions.

About  This Plate
This  plate identifies a vehicle at least 30 years old, is primarily a 
collector's  item, and used for participation in club activities, exhibitions, 
tours,  parades, occasional transportation and similar uses, but is not used 
for general  daily transportation. This plate may be personalized with up to 
5 alphanumeric  characters by submitting _Form  TC-817_ 
(http://tax.utah.gov/forms/current/tc-817.pdf)  with the  required personalization fee. A 
vintage vehicle, as defined in Utah Code _41-21-1_ 
(http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE41/htm/41_21_000100.htm) ,  qualifies for an exemption from safety and 
emission inspections

Hi  all – I’ve enjoyed the recent ‘back and forth’ about vintage plates.  
Let  me add my ‘two shillings’ worth since I just went through this the 
other  day.  The not-so-nice DMV lady (SL County) insisted I understand that  
once you get vintage plates, you need to have evidence of an annual safety  
inspection in the car along with the registration to present in case you are 
 pulled over. You don’t need a safety inspection to register for vintage 
plates  but if you do not have the evidence of a safety inspection and you are 
driving  the car anywhere but to a parade, show etc., the officer can and 
will impound  your car.  I went ahead with the vintage plates anyway.  And I 
was  registering both my LBCs.  So there you have it.  Oh, and if your  car 
is between 31 and 39 years old, you still have to pay the full  registration 
renewal on the car.  40 years or older is only a $10  renewal.  The upside 
is no emission test is required for cars over 30  years of age. 
My  personalized plates, by the way: 
For  my TR6:        QWIK6 
For  my TR250:    PDQTR

DMV  tells me Vintage plate holders are supposed to get an inspection 
annually but  you can get a vintage plate initially without one which I did 
recently  for a 59 Mercedes 220S.  I was very happy about that as I am getting  
the necessary things done to it so it will pass an inspection which  requires 
driving to various shops to get the work  done.
 
Jim
