Shipping can be done and the info that Greg gave you is a solid lead.
However...
Your existing auto policy gives you automatic coverage for any newly acquired vehicle for 30 days. Your daily driver policy may not be the best policy for this however.
But if you have an existing classic car policy (Hagerty, JC Taylor, etc), they also include automatic coverage for newly acquired vehicles.
As to registration:

Temporary Vehicle Registration
If you are a non-resident from another state who has purchased a vehicle in Florida, you may qualify to get temporary vehicle registration tags from a local county tax collector's office in order to legally drive the vehicle back to your state of residence before registering it in your home state. You will need to pay Florida sales tax and provide proper proof of insurance in order to get the temporary tags.

Now I'm not sure how NY would treat the fact that you have already paid sales tax to Florida.
I know that when I moved from Virginia to Minnesota in 1978, I didn't have to pay sales tax again on the vehicle I had just purchased in VA to drive home.
Your results may vary.
