State antique license plates who has e'm ?

[LOW DOUGH]

This is what I have found so far about TEXAS.

Copyed this from the site.

Antique Vehicle:

Antique license plates are issued for cars, trucks or motorcycles that are at least 25 years old and are a collector’s item. The vehicle must be used exclusively for exhibitions, club activities, parades or other functions of public interest. Vehicles displaying Antique plates may not be used for regular transportation or carry advertising. The vehicle may be driven to and from a location for routine maintenance.

Antique plates are issued for five-year periods. The registration fee for the five-year period is $50.30 ($10 per year, plus an additional 30 cents for the registration insignia) for vehicles manufactured in 1921 and subsequent years and $40.30 ($8 per year, plus an additional 30 cents for the registration insignia) for vehicles manufactured in 1920 and prior years. Fees are reduced $10/$8 for each year of the period that has elapsed at the time the application is filed.

More from the site...

Classic Auto:

Classic license plates are issued to cars that are 25 or more years old. Unlike antiques, which cannot be used for regular transportation or carry advertising, classic license plates require a vehicle to be fully registered like any other vehicle, allowing it to be operated on any roadway. A specialty plate fee of $15 is charged in addition to the regular registration fee and other applicable fees.



New: Single Set $15.00 / Personalize $40.00
Renewal: Single Set $15.00 / Personalize $40.00

I have em on my '72. Apply for them like you do Antique plates. They register the tag number on the vintage and you pay the antique fees. The rules apply as if it were an antique plate. There has a been a new amendment that allows antiques in Tenn to drive on days other than Sat and Sun for testing, maintaining, or traveling to shows, etc. I dunno about ya'll, but I am always testing my truck's performance.

Here is what I found for the state of North Carolina.

HB 704 was passed into law May 24, 1985 and amended G.S. 20-63(d). This bill allows owners of motor vehicles, 35 years or older, to display an 'antique' license plate which displays the year of manufacture. A current plate must be purchased and kept inside the vehicle.


Note: If you display the 'antique tags', it is highly recommended that you keep a copy of this bill inside your vehicle along with your current tag. This is a little known law and some local law enforcement agencies are not familiar with it.

I am having trouble finding anything for TX about running YOM plates. I'm trying.

I'll type this "year of manufactur plates" in there search.

[LOW DOUGH]

Just found this on the form you fill out to run these plates.

ANTIQUE LICENSE PLATES
Qualifications for Antique License Plates are as follows:
(a) A passenger car, truck, or motorcycle in which the frame, body, and motor are 25 or more years old and
is used exclusively for exhibition, club activities, parades, and other functions of public interest. The
vehicle will in no case be used for regular transportation and will not carry any advertising. A vehicle in
route to and from a location for routine maintenance is allowed.

(b) Applicants that have license plates, which are the same year as the antique vehicle may use those
plates in lieu of Antique License Plates issued by the county. If the application is mailed, the applicant
must have the license plates examined at their local County Tax Office before submitting the
application. The license plates must be Texas plates, the same year as the year model of the antique
vehicle, be in good readable condition, and have the correct color scheme.

(c) Out-of-state vehicles that have a registration receipt only, will be required to submit a completed
Application For Assigned or Reassigned Number, Form VTR-68-A. Only the lower portion should be
completed. Both forms must be submitted to the County Tax Assessor-Collector before the plate or tab
(if using approved plates) will be issued.
If the applicant has not previously registered the vehicle in Texas within the last five years, proof of
evidence of ownership, along with proof of insurance (or waiver from DPS), and fees must be
submitted to the County Tax Assessor-Collector before the plate or tab may be issued.

There you have the TEXAS rule.

Missouri is a piece of cake, got some '62 originals for my Dad's Nova. Simple registration and fee, that's it. I don't recall there being any mileage restrictions or anything, but it did have to be before a certain YOM I think. Historic tags are a whole other thing.

[71tahoe]

I've registered 4 vehicles with antique plates in Arkansas and I got the same DFA employee at least 3 of those times. She always tells me that it must be original. No modifications. All original paint, seat upholstery, wheels, etc. I just nod my head instead of argue. This is from the form you have to sign:

I hereby request registration(Printed Name of Owner)of the motor vehicle described above with an antique license plate. I hereby declare that the motor vehicle is twenty-five (25) or more years old and has been maintained in, or has been restored to its original specifications as closely as reasonably possible. In the event the motor vehicle is altered from the original specifications, except to the extent authorized or required by law, I will relinquish the antique license plate for the motor vehicle for which I have applied hereon.
I understand “original specifications” to mean the same type engine, wheels, exhaust system, tire size, upholstery, exterior body and ornaments, bumpers, wheel or dust covers, dash instruments, springs, front axles or suspension system, rear differential, steering system, electrical system, transmission, interior and exterior paints, cooling systems and accessories as were available for the vehicle at its manufacture date.
Safety-related modifications are permitted, including brakes, seal beam headlights, glass, and seat belts.

That's a wide range of what I can do to my 71 truck that would not be "as it rolled out of the factory". I could put a big block, auto, AC, PS, PB, tilt, cruise, buddy buckets, sway bars, and tach that didn't come on it originally.

Nothing about running plates from that year, only how to qualify for new antique plates. I know better than to expect a knowledgeable answer if I asked that question.

I'm sure that knowone ( dmor deputy dog) would know the diffenece

I've seen their plastic CA black plate and it is nothing like the original. I have heard their metal ones are not embossed like the originals. I have heard their customer service is horrible, too. I would stick to License Plate TV, Darrell's or Ray Ray in San Diego.

From Texas DMV. It's the bottom paragraph in the section.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has two types of plates available specifically for older vehicles.

Antique plates are for vehicles at least 25 years old that are used strictly for antique exhibitions, parades, and related activities. (Occasional trips to the repair shop are permitted.)

Only one antique plate per vehicle is issued. To apply for the plate, complete the antique application form and bring it or mail it to your local county tax office. The plate cannot be personalized.

The plate is valid in five-year increments. For vehicles built before 1921, the yearly fee is $8, while it's $10 per year for vehicles manufactured after that. Local additional fees may apply. Find full information here.

Classic plates are also for vehicles that are at least 25 years old. However, vehicles with these plates may be used for routine transportation.

Complete the classic plate form to apply for the plates, and bring it or mail it to your local county tax office.

The plates carry an annual fee of $15, and may be personalized for an extra $40. However, local additional fees may apply. Find full information here.
Model Year Plates

Have the original, model year plates for a vehicle? As long as they're Texas-issued, have the proper color, and are in a usable condition, you may apply to use them by completing either the classic or the antique vehicle form, whichever fits the situation.

Bring the form and plates with you to your county tax office, where the plates will be inspected for suitability of use.

It costs $10 annually to display the plates, although local extra fees may be added.

So... you can run YOM plates registered as a "classic", and use it as a daily driver.

As far as getting the plates... just keep an eye on ebay. They aren't cheap, but they're out there.

now that's the info I wanted to see. Then I will register them as "classic" and be fine to do as a please... that's what i get from that anyways.

[matthufham]

mine was already registered so it cost me like $5 dollars and it's good for 5 years of registration, and no inspection ever again. they gave me 1 plate for the rear

and
#2 OLD ORIGINAL PLATES

In VA it is just ANTIQUE plates PERIOD you register the vehicle the same it's just the they give you a choice of using DMV supllied plate's or old original plates that match your vehicles year NO DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY ITS REGISTERED OR THE WAY IT CAN BE USED in other words my original 1967 plates ARE ANTIQUE PLATES

In Virginia you can use year of manufacture plates and register them as vintage instead of antique. If you register the plates as vintage you need to get an inspection and display stickers on them but can still use the year of manufacture plates and have no restrictions on driving the vehicle. I currently have them registered as antique. As you say Virginia has an "occasional pleasure use" exception which is a pretty large one but still makes it hard to explain if you drive the truck to work. I may just bite the bullet and change to vintage registration instead.

That's cool but as it says....

The vehicle must be used exclusively for exhibitions, club activities, parades or other functions of public interest. Vehicles displaying Antique plates may not be used for regular transportation or carry advertising. The vehicle may be driven to and from a location for routine maintenance.

That's why I don't want mine to be registered as an antique.

This page is not related to the state. That's why I didn't look around on it. I bet I could find something about YOM plates registered as a classic and have no restrictions like that site says though.

When you search the actual DMV, they direct you to this site.

OK, I found it on the Application for Classic License Plates form. On the acctual Texas Department of Transportation web site.

`Old' License Plates: If you own license plates that are the same year as the classic vehicle, you have the option of using old plates
instead of new Classic specialty plates if the plates pass examination. The old license plates must be examined at your local
County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office or a VTR Regional Office before submitting this application. The old license plates must be
original plates in good, readable condition and have the same color scheme as the original Texas license plates.

Oh, well I didn't realize. I stand corrected.

[19673ontree]

THIS IS AN AWESOME THREAD !!!

few point's I forgot and I will stick to just fact's about VA vintage / antique license plates

DMV dosen't care and will register any original plate's but if you want to be correct here is some fact's

#1 passenger car plate's started with the number 1 and went to 999-999
then started over with an A like A00-001
#2 truck plates had a T (LIKE MINE PICTURED) that would be for a regular use pickup truck , a truck for hire such as a wrecker had TH (TRUCK FOR HIRE)
#3 several other's were also used such as plates for a convertible car had CONV , taxi cab's and ambulance's had YH

anybody know of any other ones for VA let's hear it

[19673ontree]

in the 50's and 60's most VA. counties had a county tag like mine pictured above , you got those when you paid your county tax ,,,talk about hard to find !

[nicolas72gmc]

This is kinda on topic and a little puzzling. My family and I live on 25 acres, alot of it is wooded. I was tromping through the woods and came up on a huge pile of 72 farm truck and 72 truck plates. There was a lot of old cans, parts of cars, trash barrels, etc. I started looking through them, alot of the bundles are all rusted together, there are some that are in decent shape. Most of them are trashed. I counted something like 400 plates in the pile. Someone had even set some for target practice. They are all green lettering and white background. Just thought I would share.

[Richard8971]

What was said about vintage plates is true here in AZ. I am running an Arizona 66 plate with a 67 tag. Sense Arizona did not make plates for every year, the plate year AND tag must match what would have come on your truck when it was first regestered. Arizona made a 66 plate and then a 69 and then 73. Bummer 'cause it would have been way cool to have an AZ '67 plate for my stepper!

I drive my truck everyday. They do not have limits here on vintage cars, but the ins companies may regulate how much you drive depending on your policy.
