Ah Frank, one [1] 'tiny' "Oooops, forgot to add....." <G> !!

<< If you happen to be noticed by the law (which I believe is probably 
pretty rare) >>

It would really 'depend' on WHERE you live, huh <G> ??  If you live in
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg or Philadelphia  odds are NOT good as Cities that 
size have Traffic Divisions with couple HUNDRED Officers assigned.  
Meadville might have one [1] or two [2] Officers assigned as such.

<< the only thing that happens is they take the plate away and you'd
have to put a conventional plate on it. >>

Ah yes <VBG>, here is where something is omitted.

As majority of States DO conform to The Unified Motor Vehicle Act,
I will be using ILL as 'source'.

When an Officer determines you are violating the Restrictions of your
Antique Plate, he/she IS empowered to have you remove the plate(s)
and turn in to him.  AT THAT POINT, your car is sitting there as an
UN-registered Motor Vehicle.  GUESS what that means ?!?
You may NOT operate [driver it] said vehicle and are required to
CALL A TOW TRUCK !!!  Now 'if' you are out on a little 'jaunt' to
a winery about 75 miles from home you have an EXPENSIVE problem,
huh ??  AND it will be plain to at least the Tow Truck Driver that you
are NOT "broke down", "vehicle is NOT disabled due to multiple flat
tyres, etc.", or etc. so you ARE GONNA PAY !!!

OK, now yer home.  Gotta take time off to go RE-register [NO, NOT
transfer - start from new] the car.  Gotta drive to a Licensing Station,
etc., etc..

So for the "saving" money on that Antique Plate, methinks yer IN-THE-
HOLE for several years !!

Doesn't make cents to me !!
