do other that states that let you run a year of manufacture plate also require you to keep a modern tag as well? my '64 Oklahoma plate hangs from the rear bumper and the modern tag is stuffed up under the front seat. I don't know where the hell else to keep it. I carry two sets of registration and run two tags. the '64 tag expires in December. the conventional plate expires in August. Why can't they both expire in the same month? got no clue.
Yes, in NC you register a car 30 years old or older with a current plate and then you are allowed to run a year of manufacture plate on the car. The current plate and registration MUST be kept in the car.
30 year minimum vehicle age limit in this state but once you pay the appropriate fees you have no more fees as long as you have the plates on the car. They have the usual restrictions that other states have though. http://www.dol.wa.gov/vehicleregistration/sprestored.html I've never been a fan of restored/YOM plates so it doesn't mean anything to me but lately I've been thinking Collector plate as you only get a rear plate from the state with those and don't need a front plate.
In California the YOM Plates becomes your only plates, no other plates or registration necessary, but there is $40.00 charge to run a YOM
It was that way 20 years ago when I ran YOM's on my '51 Merc in high school. It's really not that much, $15 or something?
In Missouri YOM plates can be used and registered for your car and there are no other plates or inspections needed.
In SC if the YOM is not on the so called can't use list the you can run that tag and there's no need for a current tag.
In Colorado you have to register your car with a any plate that will fit the bill. One year standard , street rod, 5 year collector, and so on. Once that is done and the YOM plate is inspected for appearance and if anyone else is using the number. It will be ***igned to you free of charge, but you will have to keep the original registration, and plate in the vehicle. Then your yearly or 5 year renewal takes care of all the paperwork for both plates. The hardest part was educating most of the patrolmen on how it worked. It seemed like the right hand and the left hand of goverment wasn't communicating early on and people were getting pulled over all the time to check it out.
In New Mexico you can get a YOM plate for any vehicle older than 30 years. The plate must be the same year as the vehicle is declared on the ***le and a one time fee of $25 plus the normal registration fee is charged. The only other stipulations when applying are that it is an authentic NM plate in good condition (no mention of original vs restored) and the number on the plate is not ***igned or in current use.
In Kansas you have to have an antique and then you pay the price of a personalized tag the first year after that it is $17.00 for taxes and tag fee. They won't let you run a tag that has been repainted or repaired.
But here is Kansas we all run Oklahoma tags on our new cars because your taxes are cheaper. LOL. Kansas has so many different tags, antiques, modified, colleges, personalized, veterans....just to name a few. Kansas has an antique tag then they also have the YOM registration which you can run now. "Model A Gomez", I always wondered what would happen if I registered it then painted the tag afterwards. I saw a Hamb'er altering a vintage tag on here the other day by changing the letters to spell something else like "HotRod". I thought one of those would be cool to try and get registered on my model T if they didn't catch it. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission sometimes!!!
Illinois, you must have antique plates registered to the car and they must be in the car with the current registration to run yom plates. Our antique plates ar $25 for 5 years of registration.
Isn't that similar to reading directions and instructions in the parts you just bought...??? There's no need to read them when someone else will tell you how to do it... Think the (state) government cares to share...??? Dreamer... R-
that was pretty much what kept me from running an antique tag here in Oklahoma for about two decades. the tag agents swore you had to get the application form from the tax commission and the tax commission said the agents are required to have the form on hand. I finally made contact with a fantastic tax commission agent who told me that if my agent didn't have the form (called a vintage decal application in Oklahoma) I was to call her back and she would call the agent and tell them that they were in violation of the law. lo and behold, a form I couldn't get put my hand to for twenty years appeared instantly.
IN TEXAS you can run YOM plates, there is a small 1" square plate that bolt to the bottom hole on your plate good for 5 years cost $50.00 for the 5 years, no inspection!!!
Oklahoma has an Antique plate that replaces your current plate and can be set up for 10 year renewal. $82.50 for 10 years and you are done. No extra plates or h***les. 25 years or older. http://www.dmv.org/ok-oklahoma/license-plates.php#Antique_Plates
Tennessee does, you have to have a valid new tag and pay another fee for the YOM tag. IIRC you have to keep the 'new' tag in the vehicle. They check your YOM tag to make sure the number is not in use. I just run regular tags on my '33 Plymouth, Hell you get h***led around here for driving with the newer 'antique' tags because the cops don't know the letter of the law. Just not worth it to me.
Actually, that last parts not true. You can run a spruced up YOM plate on your antique car. A couple guys in my club are doing it right now.
Huh, I'm NOT going to inform my county treasurer of this, I have a 1955 plate, and have only paid KS sales tax on the price of the car ( when I ***led it, it came from Nebraska ) and the $17...never a mention of paying the personalized plate fee.
I like regular plates, someday the politicians will decide all the "rich" people with special plates on their "expensive" cars will be great new source for tax money.
Here in GA, you register the vintage tag ('70 and older can run YOM here) with the tag office and you get a current tag. The current tag and registration, along with the form showing you registered the vintage tag to the vehicle has to be carried in the vehicle. After getting pulled over by a local Barney Fife who didn't know the law, I carry a copy of the code section pertaining to YOM tags in the truck with me. In Alabama, they just issue a decal that you attach to the YOM tag, and you don't have to carry a current tag.
hi; here in ohio the same st_ _ _. we have to run different plates if we drive to (other than parades,ect.). the model a i drive has got historical plates on it .i take it out when im home if weather is nice...i try to drive it anytime i get home .cold/hot ect.
Michigan has two different ways to comply: 1) Antique License Plate: This is valid for 10 years and the cost is $30.00. It is transferable to a different vehicle if you sell and buy another. 2) Authentic License Plate: This is valid for the life of your ownership of the vehicle and cost $35.00. It is only good for the vehicle ***igned as long as you own it, not transferable. No other license plates or registrations are currently required. This link is an explanation of some of our gray areas concerning these vehicles and tags. http://www.michigan.gov/do***ents/sos/Letter_2011_07_18_359268_7.pdf A good reason for ***ling our cars in this manner is if we use collector car insurance (Hagerty, Grundy etc) they are able to avoid the catastrophic claims charges on the insurance for these cars. Currently the charge is $145 per vehicle insured per year. Editorial: In Michigan we are in a financial crisis and I wouldn't be surprised to have this great way of registering our hobby cars come to an end in a revenue grabbing tactic. Brian
Problem with those is that they are for VERY limited use! As in actual parades, car shows, and events, and in no way can they be used on any kind of regular driver, daily or not. I was going to register three cars that way, until I delved further and found all the restrictions! Our two-tag rule is ridiculous, as well. The state issues a black on clear windshield decal that is about an inch square that has the registration number, so a cop would have exactly zero problems ensuring the YOM tag is indeed valid for that car. It all boils down to more revenue for the State...and they are not going to give that up.
