FYI I went to the Ohio DMV with the '41 plates and my current registration. The girl knew what to do. I had to have a new license plate registration specifying the '41 plates. She made a copy of the '41 plate for the file. I have to carry the Historical plate that was issued in the car and then display the '41 plate on the car. I was told that I can restore the plate but must use the original colors which are maroon and white. The transaction cost $6.00

Joe, My buddy and neighbor is a license plate dealer/restorer here in SW Ohio. He has restored many plates for me...great job. I believe he gets around $35 per plate (depending on condition). He can be reached at 937-218-6211...ask for Dave. Pat

The main official objection to YOM plates here was that only official vehicles, such as police and fire, may have all numeral plates, as is the case with the old ones, while the regular type are a combination of letters and numbers. We pointed out that no one could confuse an old car with the others, and it was agreed, as long as we could present the actual plates. My "real" plates are actually "vanity" ones with "47FHV8" on them.

In Connecticut the rules are esentailly the same as Iowa. You must carry the "real" license plates and registration in the car. There is also a form you must fill out with the DMV showing what numbers are on the year of manufacture plates. You are supposed to show the YOM plates to the DMV clerk at the time you fill out the form but they didn't ask to see the plates although I had them with me.

Here, in Iowa, we fought for, and received the right to use year of manufacture plates, as long as the vehicle is currently registered. You must carry the "real" plates in the car. As a precaution, I also carry a copy of the regulation to inform any authorities that challenge the plates. I've restored many plates, and begin by bead blasting the original paint, then removing any dings. Then, I use method number one above. I let the background dry for several weeks before adding the numbers. This allows any goofs to be corrected with a Q tip dipped in solvent without harming the background.
