Classic. By Honda.

Yes. That’s a Civic with a Connecticut Classic Vehicle plate.
I’m not seeing the point here.

edit: As always, the answer arrives in the comments. Which is why I love Oppo.

Because a classic plate tends to be much cheaper. Here in Wisconsin it’s a one time $200 fee compared to $70 annually.

Sounds like in CT, having a classic vehicle plate automatically caps tax valuation at $500. It’s not even clear that the plate has the usual limitations on how much you can drive and such.

It may also be a requirement for classic insurance which is usually MUCH cheaper, I would pay about a quarter of what I do now if I was eligible for classic insurance (ironically the car is old enough, but I am not)

Also those Civics with the 5-speed are amazing

I had to go look this up, because your post reminded me. Doug Demuro wrote an article once about DC allowing collector plates on vehicles 15+ years old as long as the manufacturer no longer exists. (Obviously a Honda doesn’t meet those requirements, but I think the CT cutoff is 20+ years for all vehicles  instead of the usual 25).

Heh. That’s a clever way to outsmart the license plate nazis at DMV...

I wonder if the point is “I have a well cared for and  unmolested Civic of a certain age, ” which is a pretty fair point.
