Historical or Antique plates issues with the law?

I was thinking of getting Historical plate for my 64 A100 pickup. Once when I had a 68 charger I Had historical plate/ and YOM on the car. Drove to work, on the way home got stopped. Cop knew nothing about YOM plates, let me go. If I had the historical plate on the car it may not have happened. Just a note it was about midnight.
So back to the plate question; have any of you had any issues / questioning when driving with historical plate ???
After the deal with the charger..I bought standard plates to avoid problems.

Not sure about Ohio, but in Michigan YOM plates AND Historical plates are good only for parades, to and from club events, and 'testing'.

Driving to work is not allowed.

Driving at midnight is highly suspect.

In the end, it depends on the cop. I know several people who drive around on YOM plates with no problems.

Yeah I know about driving to work..did it anyway few times. But I think what really grabbed attention to me was the 1968 YOM plate. I actual had a copy of the law with me, which helped. The Cop had never come a crossed it. But did tell me That I was not to be driving to work with an Historical REG. After he stopped me I bought standard plates to avoid the problems.
But I personally have a relative that has all of there 1980's rust buckets DD's driving on Ohio historical plates (completely breaking the law).
I was just wondering if any of you guys had run into issues when driving on Ohio historical plates?
I will probably just keep my standard plates!

Ohio is a lot easier than pa. scottie has been running ss/v for years with
no problem, i'have 2 antique plates and never had any issues,
the laws in pa are . driven under 5 thousand miles, club events cruises ,shows and so one, it's not a daily driver.
you can take it to work to show, just not every day, the state reviews all cars/ vans that apply for the plate,But it is expected to look like factory original once you start changing things you are walking the fine line, and the state troopers said we will take care of those cars/ vans ect. the only real issue is the 6 volt battery, those cars can not be driven at night.

Why not?

They drove them at night when they were new.

If you have 6 volt bulbs there should be minimal difference in light output.

Heck as I get older, I could use 110 volt eyes

we all know asking the state assholes a intelligent questions only gets you a stupid answer.

Im same yet I am wired for = 2---20's!!!!!!!!!!! Here in wash state- most all steer away from Historacal plates- due to the prade crap!! Now what we do have is = "Collector plates" must be 30 years old (vehicle) and the lisence fee is same as for regular plates -except you get only 1 plate (rear) You never -again =NEVER have to renew or pay again!! and you can drive @ anytime!! You just cant recieve $$ for hauling or as such! Had my 3 sets now 10 years & NEVER Been Stopped!!

In NJ you get Historic Plates or (QQ) one time registration fee, no inspections. You are suppose to be limited to use in parade, car show or educational outing. The last is the loophole, everything is considered educational when you driving one of these vans around. I never heard of anyone getting in trouble with these plates. I mean if your acting like an a** then you deserve a ticket no matter what but most times the cops just want to check out your ride anyway.

I just looked at the Fees at the Ohio BMV , and you have to pay an extra $5.00 for collector tags,  and you still have to renew every year
, and pay every year!! Not much of a point to have them.
Ohio Historical pay once good for 40-50 years don't remember..I'll be dead
