My personal opinion is that the antique plates are the way to go.  No 
inspection required, renew only once every 5 years at the normal fee that you 
would usually pay for 1 year and all it takes is a trip to the courthouse with 
the title, just like buying a regular plate.  Bottom line; it is 1/5th the cost 
of a regular plate in that you only have to do it once every 5 years and 
requires no inspection.  Only negative is that technically you can only drive 
in or to auto events, parades etc.  I have antique plates on all of my VWs that 
are driveable.  It's just less hassle and I have never ever been questioned by 
any law enforcement officer and have driven all over the US and to and from 
both coasts with them.

Yeah it's pricey but I want to get it inspected this month so I can run the B & 
W plates I found otherwise I guess I would need to go antique so I wouldn't 
need an inspection sticker. How long does that take BTW?

Ya got me on that one James.  Never paid much attention to them other than the 
difference between screw terminals and push ons.  Other than that as far as I 
know they are all the same.  I wouldn't pay $45 for that one on the samba 
though.

My 59 is toast. Will a '55-'57 work? It looks very close to mine:
