Out of curiousity, where in Michigan is the car?
Ann Arbor. I'll actually be driving from Ann Arbor to Pittsburgh for the first leg of the journey Saturday evening, then Pittsburgh to MA for most of Monday.
To far south for me otherwise I would give you a hand.
Massachusetts does not issue temporary license plates.
If you want to do this by the books, you will have to sell the old car, and use it's old plates. However, the old car must be sold!
Misuse of a license plate is a no-no, and getting caught suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Trust me, it's happened to me before.
Your likelihood of getting caught is pretty slim, however, since you are using a plate from the same make and model of car.
When I got caught, I was using a plate off a Porsche, on a Saab, with an expired Inspection sticker, and I didn't have a front plate on the car. I made it about a half mile before getting stopped.
I did alot of stupid things when I was younger....

The insurance company doesn't know shit! Use the transit plates, and don't ever think about your regular plates.
MA cops won't give you too much trouble about this, even if it's "against the law". You have done everything you could - you have transit plates from the dealer, have insurance, bill of sale, and title. Worst case scenario is that you get pulled over and they give you a warning. But do not put the other plates on this car.
