Steve,
What year is on your title? If it is recent, you will have to go with normal or personalized plates.
If it is say a 1965 or 1966 (car has to be 25 years or more old) you have a few more options:
- Antique - Cheaper but has restrictions. Officially you can only drive to and from events with these plates.
- Classic - No restrictions and says "Classic Auto" - Can be personalized. Cost an extra $15.00. Not sure what other advantages there are.
- "Old Plates" - Use the same form as "Classic" but you can use old plates with the same year as indicated on your car's title. Plates have to be approved by the state. No restrictions and they look good. They cost an extra $15.00 per year.
