So I've got license plates on my mind because I just renewed my car registrations, including the 66 Polara, and the renewal notice said I need a new plate. I've had the Florida "Antique" plate since I bought the car 10 years ago. It got me to thinking about getting a vintage license plate from 1966.
I found this site that sells them. http://classiclicenseplates.biz/store/page15.html
Originally I was thinking of putting such a plate on the front since we don't use official front license plates in Florida but I'd have to remove my new custom "Cacharro" plate. Then I noticed that the seller mentions getting these vintage plates authenticated.
I did the research and sure enough. You fill out a form, send in the plate and the state will authenticate it and make it your official plate.

Now my timing might be terrible because the new "antique" plate is being processed but I still am interested in this.
Has anyone done this? How much does it cost? What are the chances they reject the plate I send it?

...may be eligible for the Authenticated License Program (using an old plate that matches the year of your 1960's or 1970's vehicle). Please contact Florida's vehicle registration office (or their website) for additional details, and to see if the plate number itself is okay to use (as Florida used the same numbers on many different year plates).
