I think I drive my 68 a lot, make occasional 90 mile round trips to the dragstrip, take regular weekly pleasure drives of 10 - 30 miles, and most years drive to Carlisle which ends up being about a 400 mile weekend, but I still am only putting on about 1500 miles per year. If you are driving 2.5k per year and can still keep in show condition, that is a lot of work!!

Default Historical New York
These are the standard New York plates for a vehicle older then 25 years if you want to register it as "HISTORICAL"[/I][/B]or you can do as i did find a "VINTAGE" plate from the era, that is currently NOT being used & register them
hope this helps !

It is possible to "revive" an old plate in CT but last time I checked..at least 10 years ago, it was about $100

CT has more plates avail than your local diner
Heres some of them.
