I expect most (all) states would honor any tags that are legitimate in 
state where car is registered. Most states seem to have similar deals.

Louisiana lets you register either (1) regular plates which have to be 
renewed every 2 years or (2) Antique plates which are more expensive 
initially but are permanent. You can also get (3) Personalized Antique 
plates for a one-time fee. AND ALL Antique plates are permanent (no 
renewal fees) and are exempt from Annual Inspections.

OR if you have valid Louisiana plates that were issued for year car was 
new, you can (4) register with them for a nominal fee. They are treated 
as Antique Plates but cost less since state does not have to make the 
plate. Only requirements are cars must be basicly Stock - no significant 
modifications and Membership in an Antique Car Club and of course, plate 
must be in good condition (send photo to DMV) and specific tag number 
can not already be in use for a different year.
