Any person who is a resident of this state and the owner of a noncommercial automobile, pickup truck, van, or truck, with a weight less than eight thousand pounds, or a retired firetruck which is more than thirty years old at the time of applying for registration of the vehicle, may apply directly to the secretary for historical license plates in lieu of the application provided for in §§ 32-5-2 and 32-5-3 . The historical license plates shall be issued to the applicant instead of the usual license plates after payment of a ten dollar registration fee.
Historical license plates for a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall be issued in pairs. A single historical license plate shall be issued for a motorcycle. The license plates shall be permanent for the life of the vehicle. No motor vehicle for which historical license plates have been issued may be used for daily transportation to and from a place of work or for commercial transportation. The motor vehicle may be used for pleasure transportation, public displays, parades, and other related pleasure or hobby activities, and may be driven to and from any facility providing motor vehicle maintenance or repair.
However, no motor vehicle for which historical plates have been issued may be driven more than four thousand miles per year. Fees collected under the provisions of this section shall be credited to the state motor vehicle fund.
