Now that all my Texas registration/title glitches are worked out, it seems I'm driving a 2007 ASVE.

Welcome to the club, Jack! Mine's a 2010, but the difference is in Kansas it gets personal property tax assigned as a 2010 instead of the blanket $17 for an antique - something in the range of $375 last year.... Texas doesn't assess personal property tax on vehicles, so it's not as much of an issue.

On the right side of the screen, there is a bar to click for titles and another for registration. They are huge PDF documents but they are searchable. Search for classic, street rod, antique, etc . . .

To answer Emmet's question, vehicles with antique plates are subject to the following limitations:

(a) The department shall issue specialty license plates for a passenger car, truck, motorcycle, or former military vehicle that;
(1) is at least 25 years old, if the vehicle is a passenger car, truck, or motorcycle;
(2) is a collector's item;
(3) is used exclusively for exhibitions, club activities, parades, and other functions of public interest and is not used for regular transportation; and
(4) does not carry advertising.

That #3 is the Killer! Technically if you drive to the parts store, make a grocery run, or hop in the "antique" to go get a hair cut you can be ticketed by an energetic local Barney Fife. That's what I do not like about the SEMA model legislation being proposed to states.
