I found this a while back in my research of a basis for such a law in Georgia.
Its in the transportation code of Texas' statutes.

§ 504.502. CERTAIN EXHIBITION VEHICLES;
OFFENSE. (a) The department shall issue specialty license plates
for a passenger car, truck, motorcycle, or former military vehicle
that:
(1) is at least 25 years old, if the vehicle is a
passenger car, truck, or motorcycle;
(2) is a collector's item;
(3) is used exclusively for exhibitions, club
activities, parades, and other functions of public interest and is
not used for regular transportation; and
(4) does not carry
advertising.
(b) The license plates must include the words "Antique
Auto," "Antique Truck," "Antique Motorcycle," or "Military
Vehicle," as appropriate.
(c) A person eligible for the license plates may instead use
license plates issued by this state in the same year as the model
year of the vehicle and approved by the department, provided that a
passenger car must bear passenger car or truck license plates and a
truck must bear passenger car or truck license plates. The
department may require attachment of a registration insignia to the
license plate in a manner that does not affect the display of
information originally on the license plate.
(d) License plates issued or approved under this section
expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance or approval.
(e) The fee for issuance or approval of license plates under
this section is:
(1) $10 for each year or portion of a year remaining in
the five-year registration period if the vehicle was manufactured
in 1921 or later; or
(2) $8 for each year or portion of a year remaining in
the five-year registration period if the vehicle was manufactured
before 1921.
(f) The department may exempt a former military vehicle from
the requirement to display a license plate or registration insignia
if the exemption is necessary to maintain the vehicle's accurate
military markings. The department may approve an alternative
registration insignia that is compatible with the vehicle's
original markings.
(g) A person entitled to specialty license plates or to
department approval under this section may register the vehicle
without payment of any fees paid for or at the time of registration
except the fee for the license plate. An owner of a vehicle
registered under this subsection who violates this section commits
an offense. An offense under this section is a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of not less than $5 or more than $200.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a vehicle
issued license plates under Subsection (a) shall be required to
attach and display only one license plate on the rear of the
vehicle.
(i) In this section, "former military vehicle" means a
vehicle, including a trailer, regardless of the vehicle's size,
weight, or year of manufacture, that:
(1) was manufactured for use in any country's military
forces; and
(2) is maintained to represent its military design and
markings accurately.
