Vintage plates

[acommondisaster]

Can someone explain to me Vintage plates? How can a 5 year old Subaru SUV have Vintage 1910 auto plates? I know the plates stay with the driver, but really? Don't cars with vintage plates have some special considerations (no emissions tests or something)?

They're not really 'vintage'. Those are limited edition plates you can get through the MVA.

Ahhhh gotcha.....so there's a huge difference between getting a new plate that looks kind of (not) like an old plate and an "Antique" plate that goes on an authentic "old" car. Thanks.....I was looking in the wrong area of the MVA site for the answer.
