At the risk of getting political, I read a Newsweek article where MN legislative leaders are proposing limiting use of classic vehicles to weekends and special events. My question is these vehicles are registered under special plates and what advantage is there to doing so?

I'm pretty sure it's the collector plate group they are targeting. So Grandpa can't take his classic care down to have breakfast with the guys Monday through Friday. I'm sure it's a money grab to pay for poor financial management and excessive spending on other crap. Any car after being registered for 20 or 30 years they should just pay a onetime plate fee in my opinion. Any lawmaker voting in favor of this should be unemployed in the next election.sorry maybe this should be moved to the political section because that's what it is.

Like I said, at risk. I just want to know what the advantage of a classic car plate is. Or is it a requirement

In Wisconsin a classic car plate you only pay one time no yearly registration. The only restriction is you can't drive it one month something like January or February can't remember without looking. But who drives there collector car during the Midwest winter. Nice thing with the collector plate is it is always on the car and you don't have to renew it so if it sits in a garage and you only drive a 100 or 1,000 miles a year it's no big deal. But some people drive there classics more.
