Depends on the state you live in. In Montana it qualifies for special license plates when a vehicle is 30 years old.

Although by driving it to work he probably violates the 'general transportation' provision.

The problem with antique registration in Montana (and this wasn't made clear on the state website) is that you can only drive an antique to and from parades and/or car shows. I had originally planned to register it with antique plates because it's more affordable than a standard registration. That was a deal breaker though.
