Vintage plates on vintage cars

[Paul Stubbs]

We don't have much here in Kansas, but they DO let us use old license plates on your old rig - long as it's the same year as the car.
The Lochmoor dealer plate frame is correct for the old Fury II.

In New York, we have historical plates. I run year of manufacture on mine and my son's cars. We have the option.

That's great! We also have "antique" plates as an option.

In Washington you can run any plate you want on the front (or none at all) so I use this 1966 Pennsylvania plate, as my car was bought new in Philly. Hoping to find out what dealer it was purchased at when I get my build order card from Stellantis.

We can run year of manufacture plates here in Alberta...

Funny this topic just came up. I just got back from our local insurance agent who had just received my Collector plates from ICBC. Asked the Agent if I could run my 1967 plate on the front, NO! Front and back have to match. Apparently, the local constabularies have a computer photo system mounted in the grill that takes a pic of the rear plate when the officer is behind you, and tells them automatically if the car is insured or stolen or ???. This system does not recognize older plates. So on with the new ones. Best thing is that I can insure my 300 drop top for a couple of hundred dollars for the year with full coverage. Like that!

I have Washington YOM plates on all my cars. Pay registration once and never again.

In California there is a YOM program (through about 1980)
For my Barracuda I didn't need to worry about it as it still has its original plates from 66 (63-69 series) as this is the first series that remained in use.
California plates are issued to the car and remain with the car through its California life.

Most original issue plates don't last many moons in the rust belt!

Wagon still has its originals.

New York allows year of Manufacture.
