State antique license plates who has e'm ?

[69heavychevy]

i have mine registered as an antique and i drive it all the time. havent had any issues, i got pulled over for speeding at 11pm a few months ago and the cop didnt even mention anything about driving an antique so late at night or anything like that...just gave me the ticket.

[jbristo67]

Here are mine I always wanted some of these. Mine dont have any restrictions but I still have to get it inspected.

[Palf70Step]

As Subtle71 mentioned earlier, we have Antique tags here in Mississippi and that' what the 70 has. It is nice as there is no restrictions on driving aand the tags s initial price is good for the life of the vehicle ownership.

I have the model year plates on all my old vehicles in Ohio. Only issue is the 1971 Ohio plates are yellow. Ohio gives drunk drivers yellow plates so everyone thinks I've been drinking to much. Called party plates in ohio......lol 1960 was yellow also and of course I have that one too.......LOL

I got a set of 68 plates for my truck, but I haven't registered it yet. I'm hoping I can register it as a 68, but may not be able to since the cab is a 72 (the frame is stamped). I have both titles for the 68 and 72. Also, the painter removed the VIN from the cab when he painted it. I also have the VIN from the original 68 cab.

When I do register it, I have to have it inspected by the state patrol, so I guess I'll see what they say. I really don't want to call it a 72 since it has the 67-68 front clip on it (I guess it really looks like a 67 since the side markers are shaved)

I dont have a year specific plate as I wish I did, so I just have the Florida Antique Vehicle Blue Plate....nothing special

update for Mississippi:

i emailed to ask them about the YOM tags, & this is the response:

"Yes, we do offer this. We call it a historic tag. You will have to supply the original tag. The tag can have any county name on it. It doesn't have to have the name of your county. The tag has to be the same year as your vehicle. You will have to restore the plate before submitting it. You will have to bring the tag to your local county tax collector's office and apply the be able to use the historic plate. The county office will submit the plate to the state tax commission for approval. After the tax commission approves it or disapproves it, the tax commission will mail the plate back to your county. Your county will notify you at this point and let you know if it was approved or not."

also, whether the tag needs to be restored or not is a judgement call on their part

I live in Washington state and I wanted to get original plates for my '51 and thought about it for the '71. I asked about the rules that go with the plates for Wa, and they told me that you can only drive it to car shows and to and inmkji98 parades. No towing hauling anything or pleasure driving. I said; ok, thanks I think I'll get the regular plates.

I'm not going to have any vehicle that I'm only going to drive a hand full of times a year.

Colorado just allowed year of manufacture plates, they're supposed to be for "leisure", but they really don't state what that means, so I'm using them all the time.

Had the 68 plates when I lived in TX, did the yearly inspections and no restrictions/no problems. These were the "classic" option, not the "antique". They do restrict use on "antique" since you skip inspections.

I've bought a few sets of these (cool gift for gearhead buddies) off eBay and never paid more than $25 a set for nice ones from Texas and Colorado. You just have to look for a while.

Just read all the posts on how to do it. It is a near-nightmare to find that information! I tried just before giving up and just paying the $67 for the yearly registration, the same as on my 07!

Oh, and did you see all the cooool plates Texas has added to the DMV tag choices? Some very nice retro-style plates in there. I just bought this one!

[Raguemoe]

The plates on my 67 (Cali black plates w/67 tags) Not year correct but license starts with a "c" and I have a set for my 72 K-10 that starts with a "k". I thought that would be cool!

Geeee...when I think of Antique plates for our trucks...it's then that I realize that "To know the flame will always burn" for our trucks...that our love for our hobby will keep our trucks alive!! Just a thought.

[burb71]

This plate is for my 1968 50th Anniversary Fleetside

18 - is the code for the County I live in, LEE County,
G - is for Commercial truck. ( ok so its not a commercial Truck )
50 - ties it all in

In Florida you have to send your vintage License Plate in to Tallahassee to be AUTHENTICATED.
They check to make sure its a real Florida plate and that the tag # is not already in use, and that it is the same year as the Car or Truck you are registoring it to.

Im sending mine in now to be Authenticated, see my paper work
And there are no driving limits or restrictions

[blazerboy72]

In Georgia you are allowed to use yom plates in lieu of hobby plates but only for 1970 and older. Of course I have a 71 and 72 so I cant.

[Keith Seymore]

Nobody from Michigan yet?

At any rate, it's $35 for an "authentic", or year of manufacture plate. They are non expiring, but only for hobby use (parades, car shows, cruises, not daily transportation).

I have them on my classic cars, but not my truck - it's still a couple years too young!

Just got Kentucky "Historic Motor Vehicle" plates this week. $53 one time fee, no renewal, no inspection. State Farm Antique insurance is $52 a year with these plates. Kentucky only requires rear plates but was given 2 plates and was told "its an extra to keep clean and put on for shows". Plates came with a message statement that says...
"Historic Vehicle" shall mean all motor vehicles 25 yrs old or older, which are used primarily for exhibition in shows, parades, tours, and other special uses, but not for general transportation."

The use of "primarily" means I can drive my truck when ever I feel the need!...at least in my mind!

The perfect tag for someone with a 71 running a 67 clip...

[michael bustamante]

that sounds like our "horseless carriage" plates, you can only drive less than 5k miles per year to keep these plates, and for pleasure only.

[umwtnt]

I had them in Virginia. A good friend of mine told me to go ahead and get the state inspection sticker, the law would not mess with you then, I did. One night returning home from 2nd shift I got stop. After dark and antique tags, The officer checked the inspection sticker and told me to have a good night. My friend led me down the right road.

But the speedo cable is easy to unscrew!!!!

[MESS-HALL]

My 67' came from Kansas with origanl year tags registered, too bad I couldn't switch them to AR. But the seller told me that he got pulled over ALL the time because the local cops didn't even recognize the law, never got a ticket, but pretty inconvenient from the way he talked about it. So, I just put the original KS tag on the front bumper and I got my antique AR tag on the back.

Furthermore, rarely has the actual demand for special license plates met the requesters' projections. Most importantly, special plates detract from the primary purpose of license plates, that of vehicle identification." [1997 c 291 § 1.]

Effective dates -- 1990 c 250 §§ 1-13: See note following RCW 46.16.301.

Severability -- 1990 c 250: See note following RCW 46.16.301.

When I just registered mine, they asked if I wanted a vanity plate an antique plate, or a regular one.

I asked about a custom design/vanity, would have been another $90 total.

That off the table, I asked what the difference was, she said nothing, just that it's blue and I'd get to leave my other tag in the system for later use.

I went with the antique plate because I think the FL tags are ugly and somewhat phallic (picture of FL with oranges... don't think too hard)
