  1.10     Subd. 1b.  [COLLECTOR'S VEHICLE, CLASSIC CAR LICENSE.] (a) 
  1.11  Any motor vehicle that (1) was manufactured between and 
  1.12  including the years 1925 and 1948 after 1924, and (2) is at 
  1.13  least 20 years old at the time of designation by the registrar, 
  1.14  (3) is designated by the registrar of motor vehicles as a 
  1.15  classic car because of its fine design, high engineering 
  1.16  standards, and superior workmanship, and (4) is owned and 
  1.17  operated solely as a collector's item shall be listed for 
  1.18  taxation and registration as follows:  An affidavit shall be 
  1.19  executed stating the name and address of the owner, the name and 
  1.20  address of the person from whom purchased, the make of the motor 
  1.21  vehicle, year and number of the model, the manufacturer's 
  1.22  identification number and that the vehicle is owned and operated 
  1.23  solely as a collector's item and not for general transportation 
  1.24  purposes.  If the registrar is satisfied that the affidavit is 
  1.25  true and correct and that the motor vehicle qualifies to be 
  1.26  classified as a classic car, and the owner pays a $25 tax, the 
  2.1   registrar shall list such vehicle for taxation and registration 
  2.2   and shall issue a single number plate.

  2.5   combination of characters authorized under section 168.12, 
  2.6   subdivision 2a, but no date.  The number plate is valid without
