I do believe that the Antique plates everywhere have the stipulation of 
using the car only for parades and "special" events. However I'd have to 
say that "cruise night" should definetly fit into that category. It 
could even be a club meeting/event. I don't use those plates 'cause I 
want to drive it more often. The same goes for the car insurance that is 
classed as Antique/classic. It's dirt cheap but does expect you to limit 
useage. 

The authorities sometimes like to flex their muscles and "come down" on 
us undesireable hot rodders.? Such as closing down the tracks, etc..
