We have Canadian sun bunnies driving down here in Arizona all the time. I've never heard a case where that is a problem. Pretty normal to see that around here.
As far as the antique plates and using the model year plate on a car, I used to do that for years on our classics when I lived in Ohio. You carried an affidavit in the car along with the original antique plates.
Even with that, I was pulled over maybe 3-4 times over a period of about 20 years. Always by a state trooper, never by any county police. The state troopers would always question the model year plates on the car, as you would expect them to since they don't even use an expiration sticker of any kind. Once I would show them the affidavit and the real plates that were kept in the trunk of the car, all was good. The state troopers simply weren't aware that Ohio allowed the use of model year plates on a classic car when registered with antique plates. It was never a big deal and they were all very polite.
