License plates

I have a nice rusty 1930 North Carolina plate on my coupe. I like them that way.

Yeah Colorado allows them too, but requires 2 plates, and since I am moving to Oregon in 2 years.........
 
In WI all you need to do is carry the DMV issued plates in the car and you can put any YOM plates on the car, no paper work required! And the reg which includes plates is a one time fee of $5.00!! Tough to beat!
 
I have YOM on my A and my Willy's. In Michigan they are a lifetime plate. The 29 plates were hard to find, and took a guy that does it professionally a few months to find them for me. He found me a matched set which is almost unheard of.

The thing that sucks, is once they are registered they cannot be registered or transferred, so if I sell the car that guy can't use them, and I couldn't use them on another car. They are in way too nice of shape for our car even...

In florida they must be sent to be verified and cannot be restored when you send them. Lucky you only need one but it has to be in good condition to start with.

If you turn the driver's door handle 90* clockwise, the car will be more areodynamic.:D

When I registered my 1930 Town Sedan in Colorado, I was able to register it with only one YOM plate with no problems. The Horseless Carriage license plate is a single plate.

:D I always found it funny that it is rotated 90,* but I left it that way as that is how we found it. We are trying to leave it as much as we found it as possible, except for mechanicals and comfort items (since there was nothing left of the interior anyway)

I have thought of upholstering it with burlap, but that wouldn't help me for the windlace. :(

Told the wife if she wants a pretty one we will get her one later, but she has to learn to drive this one first!

Really? I haven't registered mine yet. Still waiting for title to come back. I didn't realize the horseless carriage plate was a single. All other cars require two.

Then what the heck did I buy a front license plate bracket for?????????
 
Use your front license plate brackets to mount one of these. The Model A Ford Club of Colorado (Denver) just placed a group order for various years.

In South Dakota you can use them also but the number must be cleared and they require new paint or restoration. I guess I understand but it is a bummer when a guy has a pretty nice set with some faded paint and they say no, not unless painted up! Also like our antique plates they say you are limited to going to organized outings or shows, for repairs and to the gas station. Not sure how hard they enforce it though..Dave
 
California is actually pretty good about the YOM plates....they will let you bring them in to verify them while you wait, and they do allow restored plates as long as they are the correct color. Took me about 15 minutes to get mine approved and I was all set.
 
Wow. I live in Indiana and I didn't know we could do that. I have a pretty good '29 plate I could have restored.

Paint up the plates uing water colors, then wash them off when you get home.:D

When I had antique plates on my 1949 Chevy turck and used it to haul some metal home from an auction, the S.D. highway patrol stopped me and read me the riot act.:mad:
 
I checked the Indiana DMV site and see that you can have a year of manufacture plate and it can be slightly faded or restored, either one. Just has to be clearly legible. However, though this can be the plate displayed on the car, you have to have a regular historic plate with all the appropriate stickers present in the vehicle.
 
IOWA is now also like Indiana, in that you can permanently display your legible antique plates, but you must have your current plates and registration in the vehicle so you can produce them if requested. This is relatively new, I only became aware of it recently, and verified with our local county license office today.
