Tennessee used to have Kewl plates-They were a rough outline of the state, orange background w/white lettering, which are the University of Tennessee's school colors. Some people have restored plates like that on their collector cars. The State used to be cool w/that, you paid a one time fee, & kept the plates as long as you wanted. Then, some effin Nitwit decided they were losing too much revenue, & you can still have the antique plates, but you can ONLY use the car in a parade, car show, something like that. They catch you going to the store, general use of any kind, you get arrested, pay a hefty fine, go to jail, the whole 9 yards. And they instructed the cops to REALLY crack down on all the scofflaws who were depriving the state of all the boodle they SHOULD be getting were it not for all those awful miscreants abusing The LAW... Bureaucrats are generally IDIOTS w/NO sense of humor, or fair play...

I'm thinking of getting collector's plates for my 2000 Dodge Dakota pickup for the 20 renewal. It's my understanding that the vehicle could be driven just about all year, except one month (December)?
In Wisconsin, you have to display a plate on the front and rear on the vehicle, but the only plate that gets the month and renewal sticker is the rear plate.

5 years ago when I got the Lincoln I was told that the IIRC 200 cost of the collector plates was justified by their not requiring renewal. I regret not doing it...with the IIRC 75 renewal fee I've already lost money on the standard plates I chose to save money then.

The Wisconsin collector plates on my 1967 Dodge are good forever, and the month they aren't valid is January. However, you can get a temporary permit for $5 to use the vehicle in January to allow for people to relocate the vehicle. https://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/formdocs/mv2750.pdf

New Hampshire has a plethora of plates.
https://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/...ion/plates.htm
Almost all are the colorful "Old Man of the Mountains" - "Live Free Or Die"
type. When we were kids going somewhere plate spotting was a good
way of passing the time. The key plate is Hawaii VERY rare for obvious
reasons. All the rest can be spotted at a tourist trap in a day or two.
If you complete the states do Canada next.
In many states you used to have to get a new plate every year so they
had the year & often changed color. Traditionally in N.H. old plates were
hung in the garage or barn. My uncle had them from the teens on. N.H. people being very frugal ( not cheap ! ) they were often used as roof or wall patches & other projects.
