license plates (Texas)
Hi all -
I'm trying to pick up after what feels like a long
family situation imposed absence. Finally got mom settled in and now all
I have to do is catch up on a thousand or so unread postings.
I'm surprised that you're having problems with the
Oregon DMV. When I went in to re-register my '60 the clerk didn't even
skip a beat over the IMPL in the make box. Of course this is Portland
I'm talking about here but I'd think you should have no problem in the
end.
As for Ken and Patricia and others who have e-mailed
me with no response, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
It's good to be able to be back.

It must be six degrees of separation. I was at the DMV in Oregon
today trying
to get them to change my recent title submission from Chrysler to
Imperial, although
when I filled out the form initially, I wrote Imperial. I
am guessing some box-checker
at the main office decided to correct a mistake. After a 10
minute phonecall, they told me to come back and they'd do some research
(imagine that). I used the same Ford-Lincoln
analogy.
Does anyone know off the top of their head what years Imperial was a
separate make?
I am thinking 1955-1970

Hi
Tim!...not sure which state you are located in but when I went to register
and insure my two 66 Imperials here in southern California I happened to
find ut that AAA had just started insuring 'classic cars'. Here the local
AAA office can do everything, except give you the driving test, that you
would normally have done at the DMV....and wait in line 3 hours for! It
took me 10 minutes at the AAA office! I did have to explain to the lady
that Imperial was NOT a Chrysler (for Insurance purposes) and used the
example that even though Lincoln is part of FORD you don't call a
Continental a FORD CONTINENTAL.....and she was fine with that, especially
when she checking in the book and actually was able to fine a 'IMPERIAL'
listing for the catagories that were OK to use on the Insurance card (and
the Registration card as well).
.....if you have to go the route of
using the local DMV office...Good Luck in finding someone who even knows
what an IMPERIAL is anymore!!....just look for the oldest person there and
maybe you'll be lucky!!
Good Luck!!

My problem is not with
plates so much as getting my car listed as an
Imperial Crown over
being listed as a Chrysler Imperial. I'm dealing with that with
the
insurance company now and will pursue it with the state a little
later.

Texas is a
lot more liberal (not a phrase you see every day) on this
subject. My
58 has had a series of plates on it. When it came time - oh
blessed
day, would that it would return again, soon - to register it, the
plates from the 1980s were discarded in favor of modern ones. At a
certain
point, for delightfully few dollars, I bought a good set of
1958 Texas car
plates - black with white letters - from an e-bay
seller conveniently
located right here in San Antonio. We exchanged
paper for tin at a gas
station. I made photocopies of them, went down
to the main DMV office,
filled out a form, paid a pittance and was
allowed to put them on the car.
