Colorado used to have a Collector Plate registration available for any vehicle 25 years of order. That also meant that they would not have to be smog tested. That was changed on 9/1/09 prior to my moving to Colorado. The new law said only vehicles 1975 or older would qualify. That meant that my 1977 would not qualify.
However I learned that the law changed again on 8/7/2013 to allow vehicles 32 years old or older to get the Collector Plate.
I wish that I had known this last year. I just registered my GMC yesterday as a collector vehicle.
Although the law says that you have to restrict your annual mileage to 4500 (but they don’t ask for odometer readings).
The advantage is that you only have to renew your plates every 5th year and you only have to get a smog test every 5 years.
My cost would have been $124 per year plus $15 per year for the smog test for a total of $695 for the five years. But the collector plate was $359.14 plus smog of $15 for a cost of $374.14 for 5 years. That is a savings of $320 over the 5 years plus saving the hassle of getting the annual smog test and waiting in line at the DVM for the annual registration.
Other Colorado owners might want to consider this.

DMV to get the collectors plates?

Emery,
Texas beats Colorado!
Texas antique plates are $50.30 for five years, no smog, no inspection, NADA!
Texas Antique Vehicle Provisions:
Antique license plates are issued for cars, trucks or motorcycles that are at least 25 years old and are a collector's item. The
vehicle must be used exclusively for exhibitions, club activities, parades or other functions of public interest. Vehicles
displaying Antique plates may not be used for regular transportation or carry advertising. The vehicle may be driven to and from a
location for routine maintenance.
Antique plates are issued for five-year periods. The registration fee for the five-year period is $50.30 ($10 per year, plus an
additional 30 cents for the registration insignia) for vehicles manufactured in 1921 and subsequent years and $40.30 ($8 per year,
plus an additional 30 cents for the registration insignia) for vehicles manufactured in 1920 and prior years. Fees are reduced
$10/$8 for each year of the period that has elapsed at the time the application is filed.
For us it is easy to meet the "club activities" requirement as when we are in the USA for the summers there's always a GMC rally or
convention on somewhere and we note that so if we get stopped (hasn't happened in seven years of touring) we can show the officer
we're on the way to . . . . . . . . . rally / convention. Once we're out of Texas it doesn't matter.
Other Texas owners might consider this as well.

In Michigan (one of the very few things good about this address) there are two choices.
An Historic (hysterical) plate is 85$ and good for 10 years.
An Authentic (actual plate for the year of manufacture) is also 85$, but good for as long as it is yours.
There are use restrictions:
The vehicle is only to be driven to/from events, shows and parades or for repairs, except August, you can drive it all you want.
I don't think that there is a day on the calendar that I could not be going to a GMC, FMCA, or TCT rally somewhere. It doesn't say I have to take the short way. (You mean Yellowstone is not on the way to Chippeaw Falls??)
Years ago, the powers that be traded the E-10 state mandate for Inspection and maintenance so we haven't had emissions check here for a long time.

Montana has what they call "permanent plates". It is on a sliding scale depending how old the vehicle is. We paid $195 4 years ago. I believe the vehicle needs to be at least 20 years old to get them. Of course in Montana there are no smog inspections for any vehicles. As a side note, we also don't have any sales tax.
Thanks,

Michigan Authentic plates are 35 bucks. Non-Expiring registration.
Got mine last year.
The PO of mine was still on "regular" plates and paying over 100 each year.
77 Royale, Rear Dry Bath. 403, 3.55 Final Drive, Lenzi goodies, Patterson carb and dizzy.
