Thread: New Plate

Tweet

Good score!!!

The way I've seen those kind of sticker requirements handled before is with an add on "flag" usually thin aluminum sheet stock. Don't know how "legal" it is, might be one of those "nobody enforces" kind of things. Here in Wa we've been fortunate so far, it's a one time registration for YOM with use restrictions so no stickers needed.

Thats amazing,Roger..They will look kool on your koop..Good score.

Just returned from the DMV and while very courteous the lady stated that the only way a person can run vehicle year specific plates is if the vehicle is all original, titled and tagged as an "antique", and that "Assembled Specialty Vehicles" don't fall into that category. She was quite interested in how I came to have a pair of new, never issued plates from 1933, but stated emphatically "You cannot run those plates on this car." Told her I would hold onto them and see if the legislation that is to be considered this year passes, which will allow ASV's to be titled as the year they most closely resemble or replicate, at the owner's discretion.

Didnt one of Uncle Bob's relatives help make those plates?

Mike,

Isn't uncle B just a few years shy of being old enough to have made them hisown self?

Jack.

Sorry to hear that Roger in Georgia you just have to register them and keep the new on in the vehicle.

Yeah, I thought about running them and having the "real" plate in the back window or something, but that looks bad, plus blocking the view! Might get by with running the old ones, and having the "real" plate inside if needed. I know some farmers don't even install tags as they just get destroyed or blocked by trailers, implements, etc. May chat with a KS SHP guy and get some guidance.

Not sure, but the return address on the envelope is "Manufactured By Kansas State Industrial Reformatory, Hutchison, KS"....

Bummer, Roger, here in Texas they provide you with a small sticker that verifies the year of registration. I have my '55 licensed as an Antique/Classic and no inspection sticker is required plus I don't have to renew but every 5 years (less than $60 for the entire 5 years) I guess that moving to Texas wouldn't help with a Kansas plate would it? hahahahaha

Jack,

maybe unc bob made them when he was in reform school.....child labor making license plates makes sense to me..... how old do you guess he is?

Mike,

Out of fear of retaliation I dare not make a guess.

Jack.

Jack, I know what you mean....I am still getting hang up phone calls since
I took a picture of him next to the 30" wire wheels at SEMA a few years ago.
