Default Florida License Plate for out of State Resident

We are thinking about purchasing a car here in Florida to stay in our garage while we fly back and forth to Illnois. Has anybody, that is a legal resident of another State, attempted to get a Florida license plate for a vehicle that will only be driven in Florida? I have heard you have to get a Florida drivers license BEFORE you can get a plate for your vehicle. Suppose you didn't drive or wasn't able to drive, but wanted to own a car for someone to drive you around? I could get an Illinois plate for the car and the State of Florida will miss out on the license tag tax. Bureaucracy!
