Depending on the state's laws, the antique plates can be beneficial and much cheaper than normal registration. ...

Here (Oregon) the Special Purpose (SP) registration is about 1/3 the cost of normal registration and NEVER EXPIRES! (Normal expires every 2 years. This a big deal as I have three... all registered and sometimes even insured.) Plus I do not have to pass emissions! (Both my '78 and '77 would have to pass every 2 years.)
The allowed usage is pretty much what Rob stated for Texas. I handle it about how Rob recommends. (Someday it'll always be true.)
I see the SP plates being used on all kinds of older "daily drivers" around here. Seems nobody is watching this....
