I was told when registering my 60 Bird that there are a couple of ways to drive an antique vehicle in Texas. One is with the red and white "antique vehicle" license plate(these do not require an inspection sticker, but can only be driven to shows, display, etc. No driving to work.)Or you can use year of manufacture plate with a metal tag(same rules as antique vehicle plates) or you can use year of manufacture plates(approved by DMV) without the metal tag. If you go this route, you must have an inspection sticker, but you are free to use the vehicle in any way you want to. This registration must be renewed every year, as compared to the others, which are multi-year. Lots of tow truck drivers like to make their own rules, much like bounty hunters. However, I don't think any of them can hook up to your vehicle if it hasn't been "tagged" unless they are operated by a government agency. Jim Mizell
