New OLD plate day!
 

It's been a long time coming, but after a wait of four months, my YOM plates are approved, and on my truck. One more piece of the puzzle. I was really happy to find a set that was good, and had the patina that matches the truck perfectly. I mounted them with security screws so they won't walk away. The truck spends more time outside than my 65 Impala that also has YOM plates.

good idea w/ the screws!

Did you restore yours or were they in that great a shape?

I'm working through a collection of 1400 license plates from 1918 up. Majority are from Quebec, we just found a box of Ontario and another from NY state. The owner who has passed, collected for 60+ years.

Both sets are original. The ones on the Impala look like they were never used. I searched for those for two years, and had to buy a set of ten years of sets to get them. This was back when it was free for ON YOM plates, they're now over $250. However, they will now transfer old plates that the numbers have been reused (but not for a long time). This will allow more plates to be used, as many of the old numbers were reused for trailer plates. Speaking of that, I should email them my extra numbers and see if they're good. I think I have everything from 59 to 73...

Hmmm, something to investigate. Course they won't do the same in Quebec because les estie d'anglais l'ont faite!

lol, no custom plates there. They might say something in English! Maudit Anglais...
