Anyone running year correct plates?

[Possmguts]

I was at DMV today renewing plates for the car and asked about doing the year correct 67 Ohio plates for the truck. Im curious who's runs the correct year plates here on their truck.

I always have on all of my cruisers. I try to find the nicest, cleanest set I can.

We can register a previously un-registered year correct tag here in Florida but you have to send the actual metal tag to DMV Tallahassee to make that happen. The only one that I know of that did this never got his registration or his tag back even though he sent it registered mail. They also refused to compensate him for the "lost" tag.

I can run mine on the front but not the back (without being registered).

Here in Va you can find old original plate from each year up to 74/75ish .I have Truck plates from 71 on mine.

I have an original 1968 truck plate on mine. I had to take a color picture, e-mail to SOS and the approved. I paid a one time fee (I think it was $35.00).

Ohio says that I can run one on the back but I have to buy regular historical plates and keep them in the truck. I don't have to run a front one. Every other car and truck is required to run front and back that's not historical. There's several to choose from on ebay cheap. I think Im going to do it.Only thing that worries me is that they say with historical plates you can only drive on Sunday, Holidays and special occasions. I see guys running everyday of the week though. Whats ya'lls laws say?

My 68 still has the original plates on it.

In Michigan, Historical plates and year of manufacture plates are two different things. Historic plates are supposed to be used only for parades or going to a show of some sort. Year of manufacture plates are actual plates from the year your vehicle was manufactured. The manufacture plates in Michigan are a one time purchase and once approved and affixed to your vehicle, that vehicle can be driven anytime, anywhere.

They are 2 different things here too... you can mount and drive with year plates but you have to have your historical plates and registration inside the truck. You just dont have to mount the historical ones if you have the year plates

I took the year correct plates off and put year of manufacture ones on . I think current tags when I see 'year correct" used for plates. Year of manufacture seems to be the common term used for tags displaying the year of your vehicle. In Maryland a vehicle has to be registered historic, you bring your tags in, they check to see if the number is assigned, if not you roll with them for a $25 one time fee for the YOM tag, but the historic tag still has to be renewed. You have to display both, just as back when they were current and the histooric tags must stay in the vehicle. The last one year-only stamped tags were '70. The '71s ran through '75 and stickers were used starting with '72. So, most you find display '75, unless they came off sooner. My K2500 has '72 farm truck tags. I just posted about them in the YOM thread yesterday. YOM and historic are actually the same thing. They are both historic tags and the YOMs are just vintage tags you are allowed to display once registered historic. But... you can get historic tags on a 20 year old vehicle and for YOM the vehicle still has to be 25. One funky thing is if it's a tow truck you can't register it historic. It sucks because tow truck insurance is very high, even if yoou never intnd to haul with it. I don't hear of the limitations being enforced by the police. It's your insurance you have to worry about

I have been running the Year of manufacture plates since 01 on different cars and trucks and the last one I did (01-11) has this on the bottom

NOTE:CANNOT BE USED FOR ROUTINE TRANSPORTATION

I do drive mine a lot from time to time and haven't been bothered though...

I have on all of the classics I have had

Any time you drive a classic it's not routine...

I like that pre-58 deck lid on your bug. Or is it European? I had a European '59 that had that deck lid and get this... It was original paint with a pre-58 windshield/dash and large back window. It had the newer tail lights with amber turn signals, KPH speedo, semiphores in b-pillars, parking lamp on left cowl and fender top turn signals as well. Oh, and the roller gas pedal.

No longer allowed to here in Az, but I do still have the original plates that were on the truck when it was first registered here in Az when it was new. I'm third owner since, bought it in 83.

Hmm...maybe if I was not too cheap to get custom plates? Not sure, I might look into it.

I ran a 69 plate here in Ohio. You only need 1 Ohio plate because the DMV said it's too hard to find 2 good plates. You buy the historical tag and get the alternate tag form for $3.50? Keep the historical tag under the seat. On the registration, it has the alt tag info. Once you do that you never have to renew tags. The only thing is, a member enlightened me, that if you get involved in an accident, then it might become a problem.

I agree. I have at least 10 vehicles running YOM plates in MI. The application clearly states not to be used for routine transportation (I just mailed in another application yesterday). $35 one time fee and stays current as long as you own the vehicle.
Also of note, insurance companies (at least in MI) will give a much lower rate for vehicles registered as "historical". I just had them quote a yearly premium for a '78 2wd Jimmy. $474 if registered with regular plates, $70 if registered with historical plates. I can't imagine my insurance costs if it weren't for the reduced historical plate rates.

I have them on all three of my classics, SU (Sumner County) Kansas correct for each. Took a bit of looking for correct county but did find them. 1957 Chevy 2 Dr. Sedan, 1971 Chevelle 2Dr Hardtop and my 1971 Chevy 1/2T 4x4 One time fee, think it was $35 and then a yearly cost of $17 each vehicle. Only need the rear tag in Kansas so I can run USA-1 plates on all three front bumpers

[Possmguts]

I said earlier that everything NOT tagged as historical has to also run front tags in Ohio... but I have none on any of my vehicles lol. I absolutely refuse to mount a big ugly tag on front of my Vette.... they can bite me when it comes to that one. My wife was pulled over for not having one on front of the Subaru a while back but they haven't bothered her since and still no tag. Im a Rebel like that. Its how I roll

The original 1969 "Farm Truck" plates came with my long stepper. Cannot used them here in Maryland since they are North Carolina plates. So I have one sitting on the dash.

Here's what a 72 Texas plate looks like on a 72 GMC and as a bonus a 2013 model is in the back.
