State antique license plates who has e'm ?

[19673ontree]

I am gonna start this thread because of the insurance thread going ,

let's here from ALL people that have their truck registered under your states YOM (YEAR OF MANUFACTURE ) law , most states now have these in affect but I am sure they will differ from state to state ,

I will start with the way Virginia's law work's ,

PLEASE IF YOU ARE FROM VIRGINIA AND SUDDENLY LEAP OUT OF YOUR CHAIR TO TELL ME HOW WRONG I AM PLEASE GO TO THE VA STATE POLICE OR DMV WEBSITE AND READ IT FIRST IT IS ON BOTH SITES

this is as some one said about the insurance WIDELY MISSUNDERSTOOD

#1 you have two choice of plates , either a state issued set of antique plates or you can use an original VA set of plates that match the year on the title of your vehicle ,
#2 you must sign and turn in a sheet that reads you are responsible for keeping the vehicle in good condition and safe to meet the year as it will be exempt from any type of state inspection , in other words you don't have to get an inspection sticker but you have to keep the vehicle in a shape that it pass inspection ,
#3 you are limited to drive the vehicle 250 mile one way from where you live and you cant haul anything with it (TRUCK) you cant ride it to work ,YOU CAN PLEASURE DRIVE IT , DRIVE TO CAR SHOW AND CRUZ INS

you would be surprised at the people with far fetched ideas about this !
I have heard it all , not enough words here to tell you how mixed up people get over this ,,,,,,,

alright lets hear it !

i am wondering if anybody knows how the law works in NC? i have got them on both of the trucks but i dont know if i am doing leaglly

[kamikazekyle05]

My truck had em(texas) when i bought my truck, i have since switched back to regular plates, actually "classic truck" plates but there just a regular one

in new hampshire all we have is antique and street rod which will cover anything older than 1948 ..the laws for Street rods are very loose but everything else has to be stock which means no lowered trucks or side exhaust..stock stock stock thats it and we have a yearly inspection which will run you about $45 for them to check your lights horn and breaks

if your pre 48 you can get about anything through ins..but anything antiquie they can really bust your nut if they want...secret it to be older ( you truck) than the kid inspecting your truck then you can tell him things like they didn't have seat belts in 1970..shhhhhhhhhhh or that is stock ride height.......

on a side note we don't have truck plates here only passenger...which may not sound like a big deal but when I take my F350 diesal to NYC I run down the merit parkway which is posted no trucks so when I look around I'm the biggest thing around since most all other states have a truck or commercial plate for P/U's and SUV's kinda makes me king of the road!!

[clinebarger]

Texas is very similar. Your not supposed to drive it around like a daily driver.
car shows, parades, back and forth to get repaired. Texas doesnt have the pleasure drive clause

I have them on the 70

[gmcdude]

I have them in Va also

[bhoeger70]

I have them in ND $15.00 for the life of the vehicle. It can not be used for a farm truck or a business no limit on the milage though.

[70cst]

I have a set of Ohio 1970 truck plates that I will be using on the Circuit Rider.

[dan42]

In California we can use the old plates - my '67 has the original black plates on it.

[capev86]

i plan to put more than 2000 miles a year on my 72 suburban and tow with it....something that you don't do with an antique. it will be taken care of but i also want to enjoy using it as it was intended to be used....as a truck!

In Ohio there is no restrictions if you have the plate year match the truck year. (ie: 1970 year plates for a 1970 truck) If its "antique license plates" then I believe there are driving restrictions.

[gerfunken]

In AZ, you can run a vintage plate if your vehicle is more than 25 years old (qualifying it for a historical plate), if you have a plate issued in the state that has been cleared by MVD. You can get the forms at the following link:

As far as I know, Mississippi will only allow Antique or Street Rod plates. I have bought some original 1971 Pike County Mississippi (where I live) tags and 1971 sample tags (00-0000) that I tend to put on my trucks at shows. I have forgotten to swap the plates back out after the show and drove home. Once I didn't notice for three months. Good for me that LEOs were cool and didn't "warn" me.

I run '69 Kansas truck plates

[ap2002]

in texas, i paid $50 for my antique plate (only requires one), and thats for 5yrs!!!! and pay $13/month insurance!!

like I said I can only speak for VA , but this said above is the biggest missunderstood part of the VA law , you are saying that a difference is made between
#1 ANTIQUE plates
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

[1970 Bowtie]

From what I have read in the state of FLA. the vehicle has to be 30yrs or older,not used for commercial purposes,but you still have to renew once a year.We also have antique exempt plates that do not have to be renewed but have a lot more restrictions.I run the standard antique plates on mine and they are the same as the regular state tag,just lite blue and say antique on them.

[myoldchevytruck]

I'll be running the Red 68'-69' Florida Plate on my truck. The plate is color appropriate to my paint scheme (Black and Red) and it worked out that my front clip is a 68' and the truck is registered as a 69'.

[Hottrucks]

well for your Fla guys this plate may not be special to anyone but me...but it came off gramps 70 maveric...I learned to drive sitting on his lap behind this plate.in Tampa

'68 KS truck plate here. One time fee of $40 to reissue the title as "specialty antique" and you can run embossed YOM plates. No restrictions and no annual renewal
We also have the vanilla antique plates. 1976 was the last year for embossed plates in KS (we got renewal stickers in '77), so I'm not sure what happens when the 1977 models get to be 35 years old.

[VA72C10]

Got 1970 plates with a "T" on it that specified trucks. Got those approved through DMV with the process 3ontree detailed. No more inspection.

[Stock72c10]

Here in Wichita, KS, it costs a one time $45 registration fee (just went up from $40) and then it costs $17/year after that (they make you carry a receipt in the vehicle now to prove you paid). No front tags are required.

I am going to see if I can find info for Texas. I have a set of 71 TRUCK plates I would like to use but don't want to get pulled over for no reason. I want to drive it.



Got them for cheap... $25 at the Dallas Autorama. They smell like they need to take a bath. I think that is why they were so cheap. Guy wanted to get rid of them. LOL
