Re: [Chrysler300] Running vintage license tags

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I remember that Maryland has the YOM law and we could use good condition tags of the YOM daily. We had to have the current tags issued handy, like on the rear floor or trunk, along with the registration for the current tags.
Along the same lines, I have a MD  "STAR" tag . A big 5 pointed STAR with a number after it. The DMV could not tell me what it was originally for. They guessed that it was for state trucks. A friend of my son's has a Superbird running a set of those tags on it for years.

p.s.: Here in Arkansas. our old cars get a one time (lifetime) charge of $10 for Antique or Street Rod tags. Can't transfer to another car, but never pay more for that set.
Also, out trailer tags are $22. for 3 years or $35. for lifetime, same deal can't transfer. We just transfer them anyway.

Just got back from the court house after paying my tag fees for the year.
Several years ago I was lucky enough to score a pair of NOS Iowa plates fort 1960 with the idea of displaying them on the F at shows etc.

Since then I have acquired used '57 and '58 Iowa plates for the C and D and had them restored by a fellow in Iowa Falls, IA. When he sent them back he included a copy of an Iowa notification that the vintage tags could be displayed on the vehicle while driving as long as it was in conjunction with a show, cruise, parade etc.

I thought I would verify this at the local license desk this morning and was pleasantly surprised to learn that I can run the old tags on the cars all the time as long as I HAVE the CURRENT YEAR TAGS and REGISTRATION in THE CAR!!

Good Deal!!

I'm wondering are other states like this??
Do I dare set foot inside ILL on the way to the fall meet displaying old tags??
After all.....it is about..... $AFETY....Right!!!????
