Anyone running year correct plates?
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.

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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.

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
I can run mine on the front but not the back (without being registered).

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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).

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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?

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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.

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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.

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. |

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
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.

Re: Anyone running year correct plates?
Here's what a 72 Texas plate looks like on a 72 GMC and as a bonus a 2013 model is in the back.
