Sold my last pr of NY ..1940 last week ..Will search for more

 

As I started this post, I thought I might share with you a place that I found that specializes in old tags as well as tags from around the world. Unlike a lot of merchants, he sells almost all states and sells sets of plates which was important to me. Excellent customer service and fast responses to e-mail.
After watching the last set of 1940 plates go for almost $140 on eBay, his prices seem reasonable. I have no affiliation whatsoever with this company but thought it might be of help to others. I also want to thank all those who sent me PMs with leads and offers of help in finding plates. js

If you can wait,there's a guy who goes to the syracuse nationals, he's get all sorts of tags and years.

 

My grandfather is was extremely into collecting plates in his younger days, he has every year for many of the states, mainly from the northeast He has over 3000 individual tags.

 

I may have a pair...if I do...you can have em! Let me look... Every other day I find something in the garage I forgot I have.

 

I would like to find an Oklahoma plate, from 1956 starting the numbers '32'.

In those years oklahoma tags denoted the county issued by the county number, mine is Rogers county and was 32. Just think it would look cool on my 56 Dodge PU.

 

not trying to hijack but i would like a 1932 arizona plate. thanks

Arizona is the only state to make license plates out of copper. Copper was used in 1932, 1933, and 1934..BIG BUCK$$$

 

also not wishing to interupt, but I would love a single or better yet a pair of 1949 texas plates for my '49 chevy. Happy to pay going rate and cover all poastage costs of course, any takers?

 

I was told by a buddy today that this has to be done by mail.
I thought I could do this in person at the DMV. Bring the photos, the new registration papers and of course a check, and walk out with a regi using the 1940 plates? Anyone in NYS do this in person?

 

Sorry, can't say as I have. Maybe this link will be of some assistance.

it has to mailed in,no walk-ins on the old plates.it works best with a polaroid pic as the digital is real clear.i have used vintage plates on my bike and truck.the nys dmv website has all the info you need.

 

Thanks for the info. Got to figure out how to do it as I just purchased the car and have not registered it yet, nor paid tax on it. I will call DMV on Monday. I would like to do it in one shot. Again, thanks for the help. js

 

Thanks for the link. js

 

you should go down and register the car first,which you have to do anyway.mail all the stuff out right after.it takes a little while for the stuff to come back.also make sure your insurance is for a historical.thats the only way they(nys dmv)let it go.

 

So I guess I have to pay for a set of new modern plates that I will use only until I get the paperwork back from the DMV allowing me to use the old plates. Thanks.

 

yeah but the historical registration is like 25 bucks or something cheap

 

i just went through this last summer with my stude . i went in and registered it and got all of the paperwork i needed to put old plates on it . i then had to mail the pic of the plate ( in 1947 NY only issued 1 plate for the rear of the car) . i did have to pay for a set of plates that i never used but it was worth it to me . i recieved a non transferable reg with the new plate number and the vintage plate number on it(both plate numbers) i then recieved a transferable registration and a new window reg sticker with just the vintage number on it. a bit of a hassle but all of this only took a few weeks and i drove the truck with just the old plate and copies of the paperwork the whole time from day one. illegal i'm sure but not a big deal . you will need the word "historical" on the insurance card .and i keep a copy of the info i found stating that NY only issued 1 plate during the war years
