    I collect license plates, let me know what year and I'll see if I've got extras.

    I thought about doing it for my 53 dodge ... but I drive it to work often and didnt want the hassle....
    and my 78 marquis is the 76 plate with stickers .. and looks stupid ... the 76 plate should have been 1 year only

    also the rules say I cant make my own plate ... cutting and welding numbers in ... which is the only way I would do it ....

    Thanks for all the input, appreciate the responses.

    The LEIN info is a little worrying.

    It will be going on an 87 Grand National. Have some thinking to do.

    There was a video a few years back where some blowhard asshat cop pulled over an older couple for exactly this, vintage plate on a classic car that wouldn't show in the LEIN database, had the owners on the ground and all. At that moment I ordered a personal plate and put my vintage plates back on the shelf. I have considered putting one on the front of the car (I have the pair).

    From what I gathered and what most have already said, you should be fine buttttttttt there is a chance that you get the wrong cop having a shit day.

    A friend in his Turbo T would get pulled over every now and then with the blue plate on it. I went Historical for this exact reason.

    I think Matt also has one on his car....

    FWIW - I found a guy who does a most excellent job of restoring your plate - $40 and he is in Sterling Heights near 16 Mile and Mound...

    grr
    haha yes Gary has never had a problem because his car never gets driven. Well except in and out of the garage onto a trailer.

    I have had my car for 20 years. All 20 years I have had the same 1967 authentic plate on it with no issues. I also had it on my 70 chevelle and 71 Monaco with no issues. I am just waiting for the governor to open shit back up to put my 1950 plate on my pontiac.

    Take it for what it's worth, but my opinion is that if the wouldn't be universally considered a classic I wouldn't do it. My reasoning is that not everyone is a car person or considers a car from the 80's a classic or historic so I wouldn't take a chance on the officer behind me connecting the dots and making it a hastle.
