I do! They look better plus the collector plates here in Minnesota look too much like whiskey plates. 
I have 1957 New York plates for "JOINT VENTURE" and 1961 OHIO plates for my son;s 1961 Bel-Air.
Most guys I know have "year of make" plates on their cars. Fun part is finding sets of two so you can run them front and back. I have a local guy that sells just about any year you want going back to the 20's and he has tons of sets.
Found these in dad's garage. 
The car I registered those to is 4th week April. Biscayne 409 4sd.
I got 3 of them, 1 on my 62 BelAir, 1 on my 64 Nova, and 1 on my 77 Hodaka motorcycle. I will post some pictures later, the BelAir and the Hodaka are at a buddys garage, I also have 3 regular historic plates on other vehicles but would like to change them over also.
Butch, does the state require you to run both front and rear plates? I'm not sure if they do in Missouri as we only had a rear plate until 1971, in 1972 till present we have 2 plates.
Steve New York & Ohio both require both front & rear if the car is was registered with them. NY has a 1 time charge of $ 80.00 to register the car with those plates. I have to ask my son about Ohio.

When I bought my Impala in 2010, there was a whole pile of receipts in the glove box which led me back to the 2nd owner and through her to the son of the original owners (who had both since passed). I called him (from Australia) and spoke for over an hour about his Mom and Dad's car, that he'd lost track of after his Mom sold it in 1983. One of the things he sent me when we started emailing each other was a photo of the original Title from when the car was bought new from Bale Chevrolet in Little Rock Arkansas. You'll note on the title that it shows the original license plate number and I had a reproduction made for when I go to car shows. I can't register this plate on the car in Aus, but it's cool to have it.

I wouldn't trust the law enforcement people to understand they are legal and get pulled over.
Butch, Missouri also requires 2 antique plates except for the years that Missouri only had 1 plate, after 71 and any standard issue antique plate you have to run 2. Only the YOM plates before 72 can you have 1 plate only. Missouri also has a 1 time charge to register a Historic vehicle, the plates are permanent as long as you own the car but there are limitations as to how you can drive the car. The YOM plates are considered Historic plates.Steve New York & Ohio both require both front & rear if the car is was registered with them. NY has a 1 time charge of $ 80.00 to register the car with those plates. I have to ask my son about Ohio.
Nice plate. Here in CA the plate belongs to the OWNER and not the car. If or when you sell the vehicle, you can keep plate or sell it I have a personalized plate one on my ‘FI FIVE’ Chevy since 1977 and one on my wife’s ‘95 Mustang ‘WHOA GT’ since new in ‘95. Personalized plates are cool. HOWEVER, YOM are REALLy the best. Congrats!!

Have attached YOM's to 2 vehicles here in Comiefornia, my 32 Ford and my 65 International Scout. You have to have 2 plates and a correct year reg. tag for approval. The DMV will send photos to Sacramento before they sign off. The plate if basically a personalized plate and with it goes an annual $10 fee on the renewal.
Same here but no annual renewal fee, its a one time charge. Ca must have had 2 plates all the time where as Missouri started 2 plates in 72 so anything before that there is only 1 plate (rear).
