Georgia Interstate Scam

[x33rs]

I actually still have the Ohio Antique plate on the nomad that I registered it with back in about 1984-5 or so?? One time registration fee for $13 at that time, and no stickers on the plate. I daily drove that car for years like that and never got pulled over in that one. Only got pulled over in the cars that I had the model year plates on them, I would imagine because they stand out a bit.

I've got 60's plates on some of my older cars that stand out also and obvious what they are. My issue is I have one on an 87 El Camino and that plate was used for many years with just a tab add on every year to make it legal. When you look at it you sort of think of it being more recent and maybe someone would cheat and try to use it on a car. That's obviously what the LEO's thought because I got stopped twice for doing nothing just because of the plate.

I have since switched to a regular plate because I'm using the car as a daily driver in the summer.

That could be yet another reason Vern, like you described. It could be that the classic cars from the 50's and 60's aren't looked at with scrutiny so much by law enforcement.

Yes, that's probably true.
