South Carolina has the same "rule" as well, but I had the plates redone on both my 67 C10 and 65 Mustang. I think I found a set of plates for my 68 Bird I'm going to buy. Basically, I bought a set clean enough for pics to send to the DMV (required) then had them restored after. It's one of those "rules" I'm sure no one cares about as long as the plates are similar to their original color scheme.
Multiple license plates are available from PennDOT for historic vehicles:
The Antique Motor Vehicle plate is for vehicles that are: Over 25 years old (based on the year of manufacture). AND Close to their original design and condition, either through maintenance or restoration. The Classic Motor Vehicle tag is for vehicles that: Were made at least 15 years before the year you apply for the tag. AND Maintain most of their original appearance and condition. The Vintage Motor Vehicle license plate is: An authentic PA license plate issued the year your vehicle was manufactured that you have acquired yourself. (PennDOT does not issue these plates.) AND For vehicles made from 1906 to 1976.
Fees for historical license plates vary:
Antique or classic plates: $78. Add $104 to personalize the plate. Vintage license plates: $78 vehicle registration. PLUS $78 vintage plate application fee.
Personally, I love the YOM plates, so I'd go for "The Vintage Motor Vehicle license plate" option.
I have my 65 Mustang Coupe insured for 25K through Hagerty for $200/yr. I have the 68 Bird through them as well for $170/yr for 20K (currently unrestored). I do not have my C10 with them because for some reason Hagerty wants $400/yr to insure my C10??? I have an agreed value of 8K on the C10 (it's actually too low) with State farm for $300/yr with a 5K mileage limit. Does not have to be garaged either (out of garage space).
