Year of manufacture plates

[Tommy]

Alabama recently allowed us to register original plates on our cars. I registered my original plates on the 68 and 72 Novas just the other day. Are other states allowing this and what are the stipulations in those states. They issued me a sticker for mine and said they wouldn't need renewing. It cost me 12 bucks for the 68 and since I hadn't registered the 72 I had to pay a total of 54 for it which included the plate. I think they will look pretty cool on the cars since tags now are starting to get pretty ugly and lots of states are even putting dot coms on the plates...

Illinois recently added the same here too.
I can drive legally with these on,as long as I keep the newly issued Il. antique plates & registration in the car at all times.The law allows me to keep the renewal sticker on just the Il. antique plates too.

When I saw this unused plate in a license plate collection,it was a HAVETOHAVE for me,being as my car was sold new in Joplin,Mo.
The local police here still pull me over from time to time,but I just keep a copy of the Illinois law article which allows this,in my glovebox and hand it to the officer along w/my Il. Antique plates.
They always end up scratch'n their heads saying they had no idea it was legal now. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Ohio has a one time charge for antique plates http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif, and if you register an Ohio year of manufacture plate, you can drive with it as long as the antique plate is in the car.
I've never seen an out of state plate, like the CA black plate, used in place of the OH tags. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
I have seen a street rod with a '32 OH tag airbrushed on the trunk, and unless you're 3' away, you would think it was real. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Legal, too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif He's got the antique tags in his trunk.

Rick, I talked with a State Trooper about this and he reluctantly agreed it was true. I don't think they like to admit it though.

Do you recall the statute number, etc?

I still run my outdated "ORIGLS 6" plates but carry the AV plates with me. Rarely a problem as my mileage is limited these days. My 1970 plates aren't in very good shape, plus the number doesn't have much interest. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I am still smarting from the kicking I gave myself when New York approved the use of "vintage plates", two years earlier I had thrown out over 30 sets of plates from the sixties and seventies. you don't want to know what I paid for this plate on Peebay http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

I have a question regarding this topic. There are companies that
manufacture replacement license plates for our hobby.
I'm not sure of the particulars here, but I'm wondering if
you could have a plate made ( eg. 69-396 ) and register it
under this program? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Years ago I had the guy in Florida make a 1972 Ohio plate for my car.Back then everything was done via the mail to Columbus, all they wanted was a photo copy of the plates. Now keep in mind the guy in florida makes his plates out of aluminum. The problem here in Ohio now is that all the paperwork is done at the local license store....and they check your old plates with a magnet !
So make sure you know your states proceedure before having a set made.

I like it when an owner goes the extra mile and displays the vintage windshield mounted village sticker too.
Not every village issued those,as was my case,so I opted for the selling states original inspection label instead.

Thanks Bob,I'm having a blast hitting the local shows with it-it's a real oh nine/oh nine with complete owner(and track)history.Bruce knows the story on the car and is graciously going to do a members ride piece on it,but I need to put detailing time in under hood-nothing like your blue car but i'm working on it!
On the plates you are correct.In 63 all yellow base plates had a mandatory DMV surrender for the black base,but Cali has a YOM program for all 47-62 period plates so the bubble just made the cut.There is a bill in legislation right now to allow the 63-69 black base in the YOM program..I kinda hope they don't pass it because I have a 69Z with it's black plates I bought from the first owner who kept the reg current,but that's a bit selfish as they look great on any car...pretty much a badge of honor out here but you would be amazed at the lengths people go to attempt to duplicate the look..

[Xplantdad]

Believe me...Marks '09 is AWESOME (and hasn't had any McDonalds on top of it either...LOL).

Can't wait to get Members Rides info on it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[SS427]

From what I had seen it is definitely One Fine 409! Come on Mark, Get the information into Bruce! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

My take on CA black plates being a badge of honor is that they make the statement "I have been here longer than you have." Having grown up in California (I was born in GA after my dad got recalled to the USAF during the 1961 Berlin Crisis) and watching it's demographics change dramatically, especially where I grew up, I think those who have lived there a long time (more than 30 years or so) use black plates as a badge of native pride. With so many immigrants to California (of all colors and economic levels) over the years, all trying to fit in and become 'old timers' too, black plates tell the car show crowd that you're more senior than everyone else. I still have an old bumpersticker from the early 1980s that says "Welcome to California, now go home." Black plates and yellow plates tell other car guys that you ARE home. "I was here before everybody else." That's a very Californian attitude given the constantly-changing face of the population. That's how I see YOM CA plates, anyway.

By the way Mark, that '62 is STUNNING.

Anyone know what the rules are for AZ. I have picked up several old plates and would love to register my 69 with 69 AZ plates.

[x Baldwin Motion]

Dave,
AZ offers three plate options for classic, historic and street rod. There does not appear to be an option for using a "vintage" plate. Are you in AZ or FL ? It does not appear to be offered in FL either.

http://www.azdot.gov/mvd/vehicle/mvdplate.asp

http://www.hsmv.state.fl.us/html/titlinf.html

obviously websites may not be current or have all info. I'd check with a local office.

[mockingbird812]

Dave's got a lot on his mind lately. He just moved from FL back to AZ last week. He is on terminal leave from the USAF and recently had his retirement ceremony (24+ years). Some of you may remember he recently finished a tour in Iraq that the AF just barely squeezed onto the tail end of his career. Surprisingly, Dave says the AZ Sonoran desert is a tad more hospitable than the deserts in Iraq. Believe he received his personal goods shipment yesterday, so he is probably ear-deep in cardboard.

Congrats and welcome back Dave! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif
