Arizona is a relatively free state, although there are no such things
anymore. Many states have very some restrictions on vehicles registered
with historic or collector plates.

I did a search engine request for restrictions on use for vehicles with historic plates in Arizona:

Search 1: What driving restrictions are on Arizona historic plates?

Answer 1: Arizona historic plates (copper-colored) require vehicles to
be 25+ years old and maintained primarily for exhibitions, club
activities, parades, or occasional pleasure use. They are not allowed
for general transportation or daily driving. Violations can lead to
fines or revocation of the historic registration.

Search 2: What driving restrictions are on Arizona historic plates by
actual law, not AI bias?

Answer 2: By Arizona state law (A.R.S. -o 28-2484), there are no
specific statutory driving restrictions (such as mileage limits or prohibitions on daily driving) on vehicles with historic plates. The
vehicle must be over 25 years old and maintained primarily for
exhibitions, parades, or club activities, ***but the law does not
explicitly restrict daily use.***

Both of those were the first paragraphs of AI search result from the
same AI.

Now, before somebody tries to claim the AI isn't licensed to practice
law... there is no law against anybody looking up the law and telling
you what it says.

I see similarly ambiguous interpretations on daily use of antique-registered vehicles in NH, and not just from AI. "Maintained in show condition" apparently means whatever shows up on Cruise Night, rusted "rat rods" and a Corvette / Coronet chimera welded with your chicken MIG. Also our MV safety inspections are in legal limbo now.

If the Dems can ignore immigration laws and and the President judgments he doesn't like, why not the rest of us?

Here in Arkansas they call them antique plates . My '86 pickup and
'90 Harley both have them - and they're good for as long as I own the
vehicle . The 4Runner has a military/veteran tag , the only "regular"
tag on the place is the 2009 Harley trike . No restrictions on driving
the antiques that I know of , but I did get asked if I had another
vehicle with regular plates . IIRC they recently raised the vehicle age requirement to 40 years , but I'm grandfathered in .
