McMorrow said. \u201cClassic plate designs give Michiganders the ability to celebrate our unparalleled car culture while offering a creative way to generate much-needed revenue to help fix our roads without raising taxes.\u201d<br \/><br \/>The blue and black license plates would be available to all drivers in Michigan for an added fee of $100. The revenue generated from the retro plates would go toward the state\u2019s transportation fund, and ultimately used to fix the state\u2019s roads.<br \/><br \/>\u201cThe classic plate designs will go a long way toward instilling pride in Michigan\u2019s reputation as the cradle of automotive development,\u201d said Shawn Pomaville-Size, Executive Director of the MotorCities National Heritage Area. \u201cMotorCities National Heritage Area can attest firsthand to the growth in economic development that is based on auto heritage tourism.&nbsp; We are happy to support the classic license plate design knowing it will produce a positive influence on both our culture and our economy.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Similar legislation was approved in California in 2014, offering drivers a nostalgic, 1960s-style black plate with gold lettering, which was a staple of the muscle car era.
