I never put them on the car because I wanted to register it as a classic until I found out the limitations that Michigan puts on classic cars.

I wouldn't worry about the limitations. I have 70 plates, so does my neighbor. Ray Barnes and Ric have 69 plates. We all drive our cars where and when we want to. I've never heard of anyone having a problem while running year of manufacture or historic plates. Not saying it couldn't happen but I think the police have more important things to worry about.
