Collector Plate Rules

May very well be true. Antique plates here will only let you drive on weekends and Holidays and you have to be going to or coming from a car show. As far as I know there is no mileage limit, but do you really need one with the driving restrictions? Pretty much rules out daily use too. Upside; they only cost 5 bucks and don't expire.
We have another class called Classic Car. $15 a year, no driving restrictions, no mileage limit and you have your choice of plates. You can use the Classic Car tag or a West Virginia tag from the same year as the car. I'm running '66 truck tags on my Valiant. They came off dad's '52 GMC pickup.
Normal tags here run from $30 to $40 depending on the weight of the vehicle. I think the state does this to encourage driving NOCs (neat old cars). When I went to visit my now father in law the second time, people in town were still talking about that neat old car that had been there 2 weeks ago. Now, if I don't take it, I spend all day explaining why not.
